<p>I know I have a pretty small chance.. I put I ace the interview...please be honest.. thnks!!!</p>
<p>Did you take the most rigorous courses possible at you school? I'm not an expert, but I think you have a decent chance. How do you plan on getting all those summer activities on the application? If you can present some of this in a positive light that may help.</p>
<p>Have you had a chance to take Calculus? Or Pre-Calculus at the least? Because I think that's what they look for too -- since it is the school of business.</p>
<p>yeah my course load is rigorous, senior year i hvae 6 aps...i took pre calc last year and got an A, i have an H (A+) in calculus right now.. i have to schedule an interview i think that will prob make or break the admissoins decision even though they say it doesnt</p>
<p>why would you ask people what your chances are, they don't know. What you should do is schedule a information session with the admissions of the business school (not the overall admissions). If it is one on one, then ask very politely and non-aggressively what your "chances" are. Again really no one can tell you, but present them with a resume and transcript. Don't give it to them if they don't ask for it though.</p>
<p>Thats exactly what i did for school of nursing and health studies. The specialized schools have personal information sessions (at least SNHS did), where i went into the admissions officer's office with my father, and we talked for about an hour about the school. When you do that, you show interest, and initiative to learn more about the school. </p>
<p>I hear back dec 15th, but regardless if i get in or not, if u do what i suggested, it can only help you.</p>
