<p>yaaaay over 400 views and no replies. Is there a problem with my post or something (too much info, confusing, etc)? I’d really just like to get someone’s perspective on my chances. I’m worried about by GPA affecting my chances, tbh.</p>

<p>I think that your chances really depend on the school you’re going to. Which I assume is either CAS or Wharton.</p>

<p>Your EC’s seem really geared towards International Relations and I wouldn’t worry about your GPA much haha (Your weighted more than makes up for it in my opinion). The only weakness I saw was your USH test score, but you said you retook that. I think you have a great shot :slight_smile: Good luck!</p>

<p>@Harrovian: I’m applying to CAS :)</p>

<p>@DarkerThanNight: Thanks for the chance! I have a feeling I got 700+ on USH, but I’m also worried about my C in Physics… D:</p>

<p>I echo @darker. If you bump up your USH, you should be good.</p>
