<p>Your GPA is way low. Your SAT scores aren't that high either, but they're not that bad (and your minority/1st gen. college status will help with that). I think your GPA is much more of a disadvantage to you than test scores. So, I'd say... not gonna happen.</p>
<p>Good luck, though. There isn't really a point in worrying too much over this. And the opinions of random people on the internet should not carry any weight for you--so I recommend sticking it out for 19 days (or however long you have to wait for decisions) and going with the flow, whatever decision you get. "Chance" threads are pointless.</p>
<p>If he attends a top boarding school his GPA may not be too low. If you read the posts by AdOfficer, kids from top preps are looked at differently. If you've gone to a strong boarding school, are a URM on scholarship and done pretty well, Williams is a good shot, especially if you can play a sport there.</p>
<p>Interesting article in the NYTs this week about how top high schools just keep better better and most in the Country decline.</p>
<p>Well i posted this to prove the fact that numbers are not the only determinants of getting in
While they do play a major role, it is important to understand that other factors matter</p>
