<p>you have a good record, but chances are slim, hs gpa is a killer, and SAT's really aren't great. I'd say you'd have slim chances applying for freshman entry, but given that this is for transferring, i doubt a stellar rec will swing things, good luck though.</p>

<p>thanks confidentialcoll, I know my odds aren't great but I thought it'd be worth shooting for especially if I end up with certain ECs I'm aiming for by the end of the semester (I'll explain when transfer app time comes)</p>

<p>Any other thoughts on my odds of admission?</p>

<p>If you only think your essays are "good; not great", you should probably work to improve them.</p>

<p>It's a work in progress. I meant good in regards to competition, but it's one of my better pieces (or drafts if you will).</p>
