<p>Of course I worry about getting in. Thinking about colleges can be stressful last minute, so I’d rather know far ahead of time so that I can put it off of my mind for a while. :P</p>

<p>Hey. As a current CC student, I’ll “chance” you, but only to help relieve some of your stress!</p>

<p>Great class rank, ECs, good test score (you fall within the 50% range of the class of 2015), etc. But CC, as I’m sure you understand, looks beyond scores. Know this: the class of 2015 had an early decision admission rate of 41%, with a regular action admission rate of 16%. Applying early has its obvious benefits. Know that CC is an awesome place, and that the block plan and the Colorado backdrop offer so many great opportunities for intense study (trust me on this) and adventure (same here). Best of luck! If you have any questions or anything, feel free to message me. I don’t get on here often… actually, this is my first time logging on since last summer… but I’ll do my best.</p>
