<p>your math II is kinda poopy for a school like stanford</p>

5

<p>Yeah I know the Math IIc is pretty crap for Stanford, but does it help in my advantage for Columbia that I put extra emphasis on my commitment to diversity and Maori heritage? And how much of a difference do really good teacher recs. make?</p>

<p>any other takers at my chances? I'll chance you!</p>

<p>hmmm I think you won't get into stanford (sorry). and columbia and dartmouth are reaches, but slightly better chance for columbia bc of ED. I think you're in at NYU and Notre Dame.</p>

<p>chance me back?
