<p>Thanks for the chance.

<p>I think you have a pretty good shot, but not a shoe-in. You have good EC’s, but the GPA is pretty low. Great SAT scores, but not spectacular. I think your essays are probably gonna sway them, since you are qualified but not for sure in.</p>

<p>I think that you have a very good chance. Your GPA rise is very impressive - I think that this is more impressive than, say, a 3.7 or 3.8. But that is just my opinion. Your EC are excellent.</p>
<p>Does anyone know exactly how I would go about updating them with an explanation of my low grades/gpa rise? I switched schools and they disregarded all the PRe-ap/honors classes I took.</p>

<p>I think you got a good shot but the Ec’s seem a little scattered (a year here a year there) but colleges look for diversity and Bagpiping is very diverse.</p>

<p>I’m back. Waiting for this month to be over so i can find out.</p>
<p>I dont see you having a problem with your EC’s and if your recs and essays are good you should get in. Also how did you get the pharmaceutical internship? Who was it through? Because I want to go into pharmaceutical research. Your EC’s are great. Good job and keep up the good work.</p>
<p>Please Chance Back</p>

<p>Wait im confused does USC count freshmen year? someone told me they didnt but im not sure…?</p>
<p>Hey, make sure that you definitely explain the trend in the GPA. Apart from that, you seem like a very viable candidate for them and I would not at all be surprised to see you get in! Good luck.</p>
