<p>I’ll be applying as a philosophy major, RD. Should I apply? Let me know what you think. Thanks for your opinion!</p>

2

<p>i think you should definitely apply. why not, right? and as for chances… your SATs are a tad low, but i think you still have a chance, even so.</p>

3

<p>I think you have a great chance. You definetly show passion in your EC’s. I think all that can make up for you SAT, which is still pretty good by itself. If you can get that up, you’ll be cash money.</p>

4

<p>I really like your consistency with your EC’s - you’ve pursued your interests in lotsa different ways!
Umm, your SAT’s like someone else said though, are bit low I think. And you need three SAT II’s for Princeton in the first place, so you should try to take one more if you have the chance.</p>

5

<p>Great shot. I just hope your class ranking is top 5ish in your class.</p>

<p>thanks for the encouragement!</p>

<p>Crackberry – there are only 35 kids in my grade, so they don’t rank.</p>
