<p>I think you have a really good shot.</p>

3

<p>Given that your essay and letters of recommendation are at least adequate, you are pretty much in.</p>

4

<p>thanks guys, i appreciate the input.</p>

5

<p>you will be accepted!</p>

<p>I’d say you have a pretty good shot. Any major in CAS would require lots of writing so it’s good that writing seems to be one of your strengths. good luck</p>

7

<p>Great chance! Really! I also hope you applied to some Ivies…</p>

8

<p>you have a great change!
but i’m so jealous of you! you can be number 7 with a 4.3? i know a girl with a 4.3 at my school and she is number twenty something. and my school is nothing special, i just have a freaky class that includes a spelling bee champ/teen jeapardy champ and oodles of other unbelievably scary smart people.
gah!</p>

<p>but other than my jealousy and rant of the day, i’d say you have an amazing shot!
:)</p>
