<p>your chances look fairly good.
test scores and good. You're right that your grades are going to hurt.
but you have good EC's (esp traveling) which would put you in the running for the communityservice scholarships. good luck</p>

<p>Do I still have a shot with the increase in applications?</p>

<p>i'd say you're probably in</p>

<p>Really? I thought my GPA would be way too low to have a "good" shot. Also, I contacted my admissions counselor and added Peabody College as my second choice school. I selected the major to be Human and Organizational Development. What are my chances of getting into that if I don't get into A&S?</p>
