<p>You have about the same stats as i do. I also applying to cornell. I hope we both have a chance. Good Luck.</p>

<p>interesting to hear...does anyone have experience with this that can give us an answer to which colleges we have a chance to get into?</p>

<p>Wharton - basically a no, but the others you shouldnt have a problem..but for Umich, since you are out-of-state, if you dont send that in by like next week you'll have no chance, they already started sending out letters.. goooood luck!</p>

<p>your 3.5 puts you in the bottom 5% of your class? How nuts is your school?? we might do the decile thing differently, but we say "oh i'm in the top 12% and the 88 decile." am I just misunderstanding?</p>

<p>lol yea have fun and good luck to you... keep in touch</p>

7

<p>decile, at least at my school, is the group of 10% that you are in. For instance, if i were in the top 14 %, then im in the second decile. thank you all for your advice</p>
