Low GPA.. - Any Chance for Claremont Mckenna College?? (Chancing back)

<p>Your app looks great, but honestly a 3.1 GPA is way too low. I do not think that you will get in. I am not trying to discourage you, just understand that your UW GPA is probably in the ~1-5 percentile of accepted applicants. However, if you are still really passionate about going there, then apply, and hope for the best, but expect for the worse.</p>

<p>Kieran, thanks for reply.
I guess that is the realistic answer.</p>

<p>But I am hoping, since most LACs have holistic view…
Not saying, im the great applicant, but im just hoping, that they would not make a decision based on just my grade…</p>

<p>and… im going to do ED no matter what.
CMC is my dream school. I am way too passionate right now to apply ED to cmc.</p>

<p>but, i will try to calm myself and see from a more realistic view.
thanks
that gives me a moment to reevaluate myself.</p>

<p>UrbanNight, try to channel that passion for CMC into your essays. Admissions will like your interest in the school, particularly if you can explain to them why you would be a good fit.</p>

did u get in?
