<p>I would say you have a very good chance... I have 2 questions tho:
1. Your sn says Tuck, and i was wondering if you understood that it was strictly a business school, and that there is no undergrad B major.
2. What is impromptu speaking? I know what it LITERALLY means, but what does it involve doing/ how could you possibly be rated/compared?</p>
<ol>
<li>Haha, actually my username is "tuck" because that's my family's nickname for me. It has nothing to do with the Tuck school of business, though that is a funny coincidence.</li>
<li>Impromptu speaking is where you have 7 minutes to prepare and deliver a speech (allotted however you see fit) on a random topic, like "torino 2006" or "CD." It was a last-minute thing (the team called me up the night before districts to see if I could sub in for someone, which is when I found out what the event was), but it's a lot of fun.</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks for your reply!</p>
