<p>Oh, my God.</p>

<p>You are me.</p>

<p>I am not even kidding.</p>

<p>The only EC you have that I don't is sports.
Oh, and you live in CA.</p>

<p>You'll get in, most likely.</p>

<p>But wow I had no idea there was another Indian girl out there all into theatre and writing like me. That is really super funny :-P</p>

<p>Out of curiosity, what do you plan on majoring in?</p>

<p>lol!! seriously... would have never thought there were other indians interested in theatre! are u applying to WashU? </p>

<p>i'm not really sure on my major... i'm thinking maaaybe chemistry... but that could definately change (i know it doesn't really go well with the whole writing and theatre thing, i'm kinda weird like that...) but i'll probably minor in theatre arts too</p>

<p>u learn Bharata natyam...cool. I learn have been learning Carnatic Music for over 10 years. </p>

<p>You have a okay/good chance - that is my opinion.</p>

<p>Haha YEAH I'm applying to WashU as well. It would be amazing times two if we both somehow ended up there. I think I'd giggle, a lot. And I'm planning on double majoring or minoring in drama as well! Wow we rock.</p>

<p>Anywizzle, good luck with all your apps! :-)</p>
