<p>MC I feel like I must have chanced you before ... Did you apply ED? Ok so its real tough trying to estimate chances... But since you asked I guess I'll just say I think its about 50/50. If you could raise your math score 100 points it would be greater than 75%, do yourself a favor and take it one more time, you never know, it can't hurt. Even if it just gets above 600, atleast it would be above that psychological barrier. If you do get in, I think you will have a good chance at Bonner which I think would be perfect for you. Don't take what Cesky says seriously, its perfectly natural to try to figure things out and have an organized application process. </p>

<p>Good luck,

<p>Seriously though, I think you have an extremly good chance. You shouldn't worry so much</p>

<p>I can't help it...posting excessively on CC is the only way I know to get rid of my nervous energy. </p>

<p>I know how you feel. Im applying to Davidson RD and I doubt my chances very much, but hey, if its meant to happen, it'll happen.</p>

<p>you seem motivated and have some good hooks. From my experience, SATs aren't as important at Davidson as other schools I had awful scores and was okay.
best of luck</p>
