<p>Looks almost identical to the other recent chances posts. The details aren't the same, of course, but the level of achievement/type of involvement are all high enough to get you in. All depends on your app. Of course the same relationship applies to you as everyone else I've seen on this board: people have gotten in with less and rejected with more. I think there is a lot of great advice given by wrprice, torrestowers, jenskate and others floating around. If you need emotional support of some sort, I'm sure some stressed out high school junior/senior is more than willing to congratulate you on achieving what he/she cannot in terms of numbers. Of course this doesn't mean everything for admissions, and doesn't mean anything after, as the loads of advice already here will show you.</p>
