<p>So I know my grades aren't the best in science but I'm hoping I can make up for that with my extra carriculars and skills in language and journalism. I want to major in history or politics so I'm hoping my science grades dont' weigh me down as much as I think they will. I go a public school in CT that is nationally ranked and sends many kids to Ivy Leagues and Top LAC's. I haven't taken my SAT's yet(will be doing so in March). Also my course load is in the top 3% for challenging. I have some kick ass recomendations lined up and my essays will be good as well. </p>

<p>Your ECs are spectacular and your fluency in 6 languages is really impressive…But I guess your GPA is somehow a little bit fall back comparing to your other statics. Make sure you do well in your march SAT!
Anyway, I’d say you have a good chance of getting in :)</p>
