<p>Hey guys... what can I say, I can't take the anxiety of waiting until April 1st anymore, so I figured I'd throw this up here and see what the hell you guys think about my chances. So to cut to the chase:</p>
<ul>
<li>I'm a white dude, residing in Indiana.</li>
<li>At a pretty big, well-respected high school. A few kids make it into Notre Dame, and other than that, I'm not sure.</li>
<li>Both my parents have their Masters, and they both went to Purdue.</li>
</ul>
<p>ACADEMICS
-GPA: 3.92 unweighted, 4.27 (or something like that) weighted.
-RANK: 3/718. I'm sure I'm tied with at LEAST 10 people but I'm reasonably sure that doesn't matter, right?
-ACT: 33 [10 on writing]

-SAT II's: Math 2-750, Chem-610 </p>
