<p>Please be brutally honest! :)</p>

<p>Just as good a chance as most other people applying/applied from this board. Shes got great numbers, but make sure to emphasize her dedication to a few EC's, I assume speech and debate and HELP...definitely don't list all of those, I got bored reading it. And as usual, it will come down to the essays if she isn't a phenomenal athlete, legacy or URM.</p>

<p>Haha...She must suck at PE.</p>
