<p>Seem to have dec. chances...I'd stop doing these chances threads if I were you, we can't really give you too much real feedback...you are in good shape, and you could get in if you write unique essays</p>

5

<p>Looks good...maybe you can emphasize your biology/health stuff in one of your essays. You might want to have your counselor write about your being low-income, etc.</p>

6

<p>looks nice on paper</p>

7

<p>Any more advice?</p>

8

<p>Sure, write good essays and don't try to whine your way in. It'll look much better if other people write about your hardships, but I think your competitive without them anyway. The only area you might be lacking in is your EC's. The ones you seemed to have put the most time into seem very related to school (namely your research), so my advice would be to make sure you can show how, if indeed you did at all, took it upon yourself to make it happen rather than had it happen for you.</p>

<p>numbers are all good at least. other than that, work on those essays.</p>
