<p>please, respond</p>

<p>well, you've obviously done well in high school, and you're obviously intelligent. </p>

<p>but from lurking on this board and from watching applicants from the classes above me get rejected or waitlisted, i've started to think that almost everyone has a chance and that if you're interested, apply. just try to blast them out of the water with your application.... and not just with what's on your list of extracurriculars. </p>

<p>besides that, define winning nationals 3 times in figure skating! i'm curious! </p>

<p>best of luck.</p>

<p>Pretty decent chance. The difference in GPA/Rank and SAT is a bit of a concern, but not much.</p>

<p>If you really won nationals 3x in figure skating you should be a shoe-in, not sure why you didn't apply somewhere early and get right in.</p>

<p>I'm a junior this year, so I'm applying next year</p>

<p>Ah, missed that part.</p>

<p>You should have a relatively good chance anywhere you apply.</p>
