Thnx:)</p>

<p>You have a good chance of getting into any of these schools, but as you know, they are reaches for everyone given their acceptance rates…please tell me that you have a safety hidden away and you are all set…</p>

<p>be sure to take some SAT IIs. otherwise you are looking pretty good.</p>

<p>i think u have a good chance…ur ethnicity is a benefit</p>

<p>Good shots for all the schools. Class rank may be a slight factor, but should not matter for the most part. All that’s left is to write a good essay. Emory may be good as a back up, but it would always be good to add a safety school.</p>

<p>Any ideal safety schools given above stats for an International Relations major? Btw, thnx for the input.</p>

<p>id say very good shot at all of these. good job! chance me back?</p>
