<p>essays/recs: assume great</p>

<p>so what do you guys think?? should i retake biology?</p>

<p>I don't see a math class in your schedule...
What state are you from? Does Julliard have a pre-college summer program? I would retake the SAT Bio. Your ECs are pretty decent.</p>

<p>woops! add on AB Calculus to that schedule.
i also played on the girls' tennis team for the past 3 years as well as 3.5 team during the winter season.</p>

<p>and no i commute to juilliard. not at a summer program.</p>

<p>30% chance at Stanford</p>

<p>No. 29% chance.</p>

<p>it's all a chance, if you get an adcom in a good mood (say... he/she scored the night before) then... you got really good chance, but if you get someone who just got divorced over the phone 2 mins before reviewing your app... then you don't got a chance.</p>

<p>Decent chance.</p>

<p>It would be better if you could do something about that whole Asian thing...</p>

<p>hahaha thanks.</p>

<p>didn't realize you are asian, i think that takes a lot away from you... you are probably 5% lower than if you were of other race</p>

<p>your SAT score is so close to mine. crazy. anyways, i think you have a shot. stanford can be a crapshoot. </p>

<p>i don't get it, newbyreborn, why?</p>
