<p>I think you have a good chance, your stats are good. Pdine really looks at Church involvement so get involved and recommendations from clergy or ministers are especially good if you have a good relationship with them. They seem to genuinely look at the whole person, not just stats, so great stats alone may be overlook if you don't have the rest. What can you bring to their community??? Make your essay personal and true to who you are. Good luck, it is an incredible school where my D has found a home. She also came from a Catholic school and has transitioned very comfortably to pdine...and the great campus doesn't hurt. Establish a connection with your areas admit person, if they are impressed they may have some influence behind the closed doors. Good Luck!</p>
