<p>So what are my chances?!</p>

<p>Hey, I’m currently applying to the U as well! So I looked at your stats and this is what I think for CHED. Although your ACT and GPA are a bit low, you have awesome cc’s which would really boost your chances. Also you would get a boost in admission for race, that’s how admissions works. I can’t for sure tell a percentage but I think you have a good shot!</p>
