<p>oh and i'm applying to geosciences (i have an interest in the major and demonstrated it in essay C)</p>

<p>Thanks!

<p>If I were on the admissions committee, you’d be in.</p>

3

<p>90% sure you will get in! Knew a guy that was barely top quarter of his graduating class but got in due to his perfect math SAT. Anyway, GOODLUCK!</p>

4

<p>Are you kidding me redhots. Your guaranteed lol.</p>

5

<p>You’ll most probably be in. With those SATs and ECs and such, you’re pretty much golden, despite the less-than-shining rank. Good luck!</p>

6

<p>How is your rank at PESH that bad? Did you transfer in?</p>

7

<p>haha i am honored to be first post =). Nope, I had to give my mom primary care and take care of my little sister when my mom fell sick with long-term illness (my sophomore to junior year) and with all these ECs and being in the IB program, I wasn’t able to perform as well as I could have =/. I also explained that in essay C and if you’re wondering how i managed to explain both my passion for the geosciences and this in essay C, the answer is ingeniously ;)</p>

<p>Now I would be delighted to hear your opinion on my chances!</p>

8

<p>Haha I’m sure you’ll get in; those scores combined with an essay explaining the circumstances is more than enough to hook them(:</p>

9

<p>anyone else?</p>

10

<p>You should get in (Geosciences is one of the easier majors to get into). But don’t be shocked if you don’t.</p>

11

<p>hey, Xcellerator, Why is that one easier? sounds like a lot of calculus and physics.</p>

12

<p>Thanks Xcellerator, and I won’t be shocked if I don’t get in; however in about a year and a half of lurking/posting I have not seen anyone with better stats who applied to geo on this board who got rejected (although I have seen plenty with worse stats get in). Being Asian, though, seems like it would be enough to get me rejected. :/</p>

<p>Thanks very much for your input.
Further opinions from any of you out there (please be honest :D) would be greatly appreciated</p>
