<p>You've confused the hell outta me, but I'll tell you the same thing I tell everyone else...you have a shot, b/c everyone has a shot. =)</p>

3

<p>yes, you do have a chance. (r u a junior btw?)</p>

<p>have you taken any AP exams ?</p>

4

<p>yes, i'm a junior applying for early admission. i explained my circumstances in the additional information part of the app. no AP exams, unfortunately...</p>

<p>even tho ur a different case, the lack of a well defined curriculum might hurt you, and the junior thing might do it too... rejected from engineering ed 1470... and a 3.7 gpa... with 5 ap's and 2 5's so far (3 yet to take)</p>

6

<p>my college curriculum is somewhat defined. I'm taking required core courses necessary for an Associate's Degree (although I'm officially a non-degree seeking student). Those courses are pretty standard.</p>

<p>Can you retake the SAT ?</p>
