<p>ok so here is the situation. i took ap chem these last two terms. and i got a b- and a D+. first of all for all those people thinking that im stupid im not. most people that are reading this go to a semester school meaning that you have 30 weeks to learn 18 ch. but for me i have 18 weeks to learn 18 ch. because im on the quarter system. I DID TAKE REGULAR COLLEGE PREP CHEMISTRY AND GOT AN A IN QUARTER 4 SO I HAVE FULFILLED ONE YEAR ON CHEM. </p>

My school and his school are in 2 opposte directions. </p></li>
<li><p>i also wrote about how the envioronment i grew up in has shaped me to be a strong perservering leader and how people see me as a leader not because of my large frame ( i am 6'4) but because of the attidude i have when i am in the room. </p></li>
<li><p>how my parents accident coupled with my volunteering at the hospital has changed my outlook on life and how i found my true calling which is medicine because God has blessed me with intelligence and lots of empathy towards the needy and weak. </p></li>
<li><p>i also included in my essay a great quote from one of a famous surgeon (i am drawing a blank on his name right now) but it said " i was never the smartest in med school, but what i lacked in ability i made up with through discipline." i think this quote really applies to me and i explained why. </p></li>

<p>I think you’re in at all of them. Those are all matches for you.</p>

<p>Please chance me back: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/855358-what-my-chances-fordham-1-8-gpa.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/855358-what-my-chances-fordham-1-8-gpa.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>You can definitely get in all of those!
You have good ECs, and a lot of community service to back up your personal statement (which is very sentimental by the way! It should really capture attention)
Good luck : )</p>

<p>Chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/856442-can-i-get-into-any-ivy-league-school.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/856442-can-i-get-into-any-ivy-league-school.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

5

<p>you have a good chance at all the uc’s you are applying to</p>

6

<p>bump /////</p>

7

<p>i kind of think they’re low reaches/high targets for you since your GPA is slightly lower than their averages (SB 3.93, Davis 4.0, Irvine 4.01) unless the averages they report are not the UC GPA’s but regular high school GPA’s (in which case i think you’d definitely get in. but other than that you have a great shot.</p>

8

<p>Unless there is a major issue between now and the end of your senior year, you should have your pick between the three. You are a very impressive applicant, and (in my opinion) should be accepted to all. </p>
