<p>I think you have a great shot, especially since your in-state.
PS - You’re in DECA :)! Have you ever been to State Conference? I’m one of the state officers this year.</p>

3

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Ahh no! But maybe this year! Congratulations on your position haha :)</p>

4

<p>I’m pretty sure you’ll get in. I got in with less than you, and I know other people that got in with less than me, so it seems like you have a great shot.</p>

5

<p>Oh, that’s relieving…considering most of the people I know has much higher stats than me :(</p>

6

<p>Then again, we are the second-best class.</p>

<p>^Don’t get me started on that. It might be true, but the idiots at admissions should know better than to say stuff like that. It makes for bad press, and you would think that after the NYT fiasco last year they would have learned to shut up with the stupid statements…/rant</p>

<p>You have a good shot, but don’t take it for granted. Less than top 10% isn’t a killer, but it means that you have to work hard in other areas, and it looks like you have. Just be sure to have killer essays.</p>

<p>Better start working on those essays then!</p>

<p>Anyone else want to give it a shot?</p>
