<p>Im planning to major Economics and mathematics</p>

<p>anyone?? bump..</p>

<p>aah i need some comments</p>

<p>about a 1/10 chance. Good luck</p>

<p>1/10.. lol</p>

<p>could i receive financial aid?</p>

<p>it's hard to get in as an international applicant. mostly u need some insane international award</p>

<p>No one here can actually say for sure if you'll get in or not; all you'll get from posting a question like this is to become unnecessarily optimistic or pessimistic based on a few responses from strangers who probably wouldn't know any better than you.</p>

<p>That being said, I think that you have a decent shot at admission, judging from your impressive ECs and above-average scores. Again, no one can say for sure.</p>

<p>lol i definitely know that no one can actually say for sure. I just wanted to hear some comments to have an idea.</p>

<p>Chances look as dim as the light next to my bed...nope</p>

<p>jlsniff why dont you elaborate a bit more? I really wanna know what my weaknesses are.</p>

<p>Nice stats, but nothing really sticks out on paper to me. Stats are competitive for any college, but I wouldn't bet on it. I mean I hope you get in, but the reality is that almost everyone being considered has good stats, GREAT recommendations, ECs, awards and etc. Work experience is a little bit weak, but overall nice package.</p>
