<p>hmm, I've been watching all these "chances" threads, but really, I don't think any of us can tell anyone what their chances are of getting into any school. I mean, I have friends with perfect SAT scores who are on the top of the class and have done every ec on the face of the planet and yet they get rejected from all these top schools, and then I have friends that have average SATS and decent grades, that get accepted.
I would really hate to get someone's hopes up about college admissions cause really, its impossible to tell what they're looking for unless you've sat in on admissions commitee or something.
So I guess the best I can do is wish you the best of luck :-)</p>
