<p>Whoa, your ECs are pretty crazy. Capoeira, seriously? XD That's awesome. </p>

<p>Chances...well, obviously, I have no idea. But your ECs are interesting, your SATs are good (well, the Math one is kinda shakey, but that's okay since the others cover it up (I think)). Depending on how good your essays, recs, and luck is, yeah, sure, you have a shot.</p>

<p>Given a well crafted and focused application, I think your chances are excellent. But, I am just a mom, so what do I know?? </p>

<p>Best of everything to you!</p>

<p>WOOPs ... the GPA is wrong ... 4.0 is for UCs translation. It is actually closer to a 3.0 for Barnard</p>

<p>ew...yeah, that's not as good. But still. Who knows.</p>

<p>haha-firefly16842 love the "ew" added in. </p>

<p>Umm, your GPA is pretty low though, everything else looks SOLID ! Critical Reading isn't usually the best section everybody does on, but it seems you could have gotten an 800 if you tried again, that shows a great deal of intelligence in the English department! Niiice. Good Luck!</p>

<p>Thank you all. I (mom) had pasted in the first copy to several UCs and forgot to change the grade for Barnard. Her recs and essays are very important I think. </p>

<p>I relay any info from CC to her. She does not have any time to obsess on this stuff like I do.</p>

<p>You're the first person I've seen other than myself with crazy high verbal and writing scores and a lower math one (mine was a 630). Let's hope we both get lucky!</p>
