<p>I applied ED to ILR, and now that the decision results date is coming I'm getting nervous that my stats are too low and I wasted my time. </p>

<p>white, female, out-of-state (from Los Angeles)</p>

<p>94.87 gpa, top 15%-10% of class (unsure because my school doesn't really tell us specifics)</p>

<p>SAT I - 770 reading, 610 math (I KNOW it's awful, hoping reading saves me), 710 writing
SAT II World History - 740, SAT II Biology 700</p>

<p>6 APs since freshman year, all honors except chemistry, lots of electives in art and culture
my averages below 90% were in physics, trig, and precalc (I am obviously not a math person)
Captain of tennis team (4yrs participation) captain of rowing team (4yrs participation), community service coaching little kid's tennis team and tutoring at school, participated in speech and debate for 3 years
I intern at a city bureau office that deals with helping unemployed adults, have a good letter of rec from the vice president of the office (who also attended ILR)</p>

<p>I know essays are important for ILR, I wrote my supplement about how I learned about the labor movement in history class and how it sparked my interest, etc., and how living in a racially and economically diverse city lead me to wanting to pursue industrial and labor relations with a minor in public policy.</p>

<p>what I'm most worried about are my math grades & SAT score (for some reason ILR keeps mentioning math…) and my GPA (even though it's good for a competitive school I don't know if it's Ivy level).
WHAT ARE MY CHANCES?</p>

<p>The truth is nobody knows your chances. You have already applied and you have 6 days left. There is literally no point in hearing a bunch of "you’re surely in!"s and then getting your hopes up or "probably not in"s and feeling bad. Just relax and wait. Nothing anybody tells you at this point changes anything and will probably make you feel worse in the end.</p>

<p>You have a decent shot. Like Mistanervous said - don’t know if that’s helpful or not.</p>

I am an ILR freshman and I can tell you that they told us that they don’t care that much about SAT scores (compared to what you might think). They are just looking for the perfect fit. So if you are don’t worry! If you’re not, maybe it wasn’t the right school for you, but you have strong scores so good luck!</p>

<p>Honestly, don’t worry about your chances. You definitely have a decent shot. Most likely the decisions have already been made and on monday we will all know. I know it’s hard but I would try to focus on other stuff for now cuz stressing when there’s nothing more you can do is counterproductive. (im such a hypocrite for saying this lol)</p>

<p>So what was the result ?</p>
