2

<p>You have a good chance at all.</p>

3

<p>any percentage chance plz?</p>

4

<p>No one can you give you an accurate percentage, not even if I was part of the admission committee.</p>

<p>To make you feel better. 9% at all.</p>

5

<p>OMG! is my chance really THAT low?</p>

<p>How competitive am I comapred to other international students?</p>

6

<p>Prob around 20% chance to be more realistic</p>

7

<p>I think the simple answer here is you don't need to go to college. 4,365% of $2000? shoooot.</p>

8

<p>^He doesn't need to go to college because his business made $80k?</p>

<p>Uhhh....</p>

<p>Anyway, I'd say at HYPSM and Wharton: Reach (like 20%?), Stern, CMU, and UMich are low matches (like 70%).</p>

<p>HYPMS reaches.
I know many internationals (me being one), with higher SAT's and much higher GPA's and strong overall being rejected a lot. It happens all the time.
Reaches. but a good shot.</p>
