<p>But yea this and Pomona are my top choices and if need be i will apply early decision to get in.</p>

<p>any sort of feedback would be appreciated :)</p>

<p>I'd say slim to none unless maybe you write really strong essays.</p>

<p>why would he have slim to none chances? what factors could he be lacking?</p>

<p>i know HOW HARD it has gotten to get into claremont mckenna, so i understand you saying slim to none, on the other hand,i know a handful of people who had not so far stats from mine and got accepted, maybe there is somethig im missing? ill be visiting the college later this august, any advice on anything i should do while im there to up my chances?</p>

<p>I dont know if it will help, but i did receive a 750 dollar scholarship for the paralegal internship that i had, they were a hundred odd some kids doing the program and only 7 i believe received scholarships</p>

<p>i was kidding.. it is obvious that you are a more-than-strong candidate. I dont think you need to ask anyone to know that.</p>
