<p>Pros and Cons: You tell me.</p>

<p>Holy wow. I’d say you have a pretty good chance, especially with the depth and “global citizenship” trend of many of your extracurriculars. Mac is big into multiculturalism/diversity/being a global citizen, so it looks like you’re set in that arena. Really all you can do now is sit back, be happy that your app is in, and relax.</p>
