<p>THis isnt a normal chances thread I've got great stats esays etc. but i havent turned in the app yet.... think theres any chance of me gitting in. I'm planning to get it in before Jan</p>
<p>better hurry...</p>
<p>It'll definitely be a lot harder now...</p>
<p>See the thing is they said if I turn it in in the month of December then they'll still consider me in the first round of admissions and mail me a decision in Feb. along with the priority ppl... Does that change things?</p>
<p>Well if you heard that directly from the SHC staff then I would assume it to be correct, although I don't know what is the purpose of the 11/30 deadline then...</p>
<p>Anyway, from what I could tell from talking to my friends who are also in the SHC and those that got rejected, the admissions comm is pretty hard to predict, you can have stellar GPA and ECs but get rejected. Your best bet is to make sure your teacher letters of rec are great and that your essays are flawless. I would have teachers/friends/family edit your essays multiple times.</p>
