<p>i wrote a pretty good essay (i hope haha.) I explained that i am not good at math - reason for my low gpa, and that i am not a good test taker. i said how much i wanted to go there, and blah blah blah all that good stuff and i should have pretty good teacher recs. </p>
<p>please, i would really like to know my chances. I am so anxious about getting in. like i can't sleep at night, and i have breakdowns every day. i already called the admissions office asking if a decision had been reached - as of today no. ( i applied on oct 7th. got my pitt.edu on like the 11th or 13th or something.) like i honestly don't know what i'll do if i don't get in because all my other schools are pretty reach schools/impossible schools. and i can only go to those schools if i get money. </p>
<p>i am also applying to:
Northwestern ( 1st choice...i know so unrealistic. i know i'm not getting in)
NYU ( same as Northwestern basically)
BU
DePaul ( chicago)
Loyola Chicago
University of Cincinnati
Xavier University ( Cincinnati)</p>
<p>around 34 girls from my high school are applying. 5 already got in.
last year 30 applied and i think 19 or 20 got in.
thanks for reading. good luck to anyone else applying.</p>
