<p>Everyone who is qualified has roughly the same chance: 5-10%. </p>

<p>You’re probably qualified.</p>

<p>Good luck! Do your best and hope for the best!</p>

<p>This couldn’t be further from the truth. Sure most people are qualified, but some stand out a lot more than others. </p>

<p>To the OP, I’d say you have a great chance.</p>

<p>Thanks, that’s heartening. But does my EC record appear sparse? That’s what i’m worried about. Here in Singapore, schools discourage more than 1 or 2 ECs.</p>

<p>I forgot to add that I was in Track and Field in Grades 9 and 10, but only as a member.</p>

<p>good SATs but unfortunately, you come from an overrepresented country :(</p>
