<p>oh and i took a course at umd in entrepreneurship which i got an a+ in
so pleaseee tell me what you think my chances might be!</p>

<p>You have a good shot. Your GPA and SAT scores could be a big higher I guess, buut your courseload is very impressive. It’s so hard to tell now, but I think you havea good shot. Good luck!</p>

<p>I don’t know what I’m saying. Your SATs look a lot better than most of the kids I know at Cornell.</p>

<p>what are you talking about, SAT scores could be a bit higher? Your SAT scores are great and make up partly for your low GPA. Good shot</p>

<p>thanks for the input!</p>
