<p>If you are not a native speaker, then I think you have a real good shot as long as trend in grades is sharply upward. If you have spoken English all your life, those grades will require a much better explanatin than a high school transfer issue.</p>
<p>I'm not a native speaker my trend in grades is not sharply upward(no C's) but I took harder and harder classes as I moved up grades. Can anyone else share their opinions?</p>
<p>what does bump mean? Anyways, you have a good chance. I have a friend whos here who came to the US from korea when she was a frosh in high school. Make sure to concentrate all your essays on what your intended major is. Don't worry about class rank. When I got my class rank I thought I wasn't gonna get in ANYWHERE cause i was the 15th percent in my class... But i got in here ED.. GOOD LUCK!</p>
<p>Thanks, I feel better after getting told by someone else that my chances are around 10%. I guess nobody really knows my exact chances, but then how would they? (Rhetorical question). If you do know, give me some comments, haha. I'm prepared to be disappointed again. =P</p>
