<p>I've been in high track classes throughout my high school career, and I only touched on the most important of my EC's. I wrote them 2 letters explaining why my grades kind of suck (family problems) and explaining why I would be a good choice after I was postponed. I also included two new letters of recomendation which I think are solid and give a better outlook on me than the first two.</p>

<p>Anyone know how I'm looking for the second review of my app?</p>

<p>My stats are very similar to yours and I got postponed as well.</p>

<p>UW GPA: 3.33
W FPA: 3.85
SAT: 2030 (M: 680, R: 670, W: 680)
SAT II US History: 740
SAT II Lit: 580</p>

<p>However, you have better EC's. Submitted my mid-year report already. My grades improved from junior year but as a whole remained the same. The chart on their site had me at about a 45% chance, and your resume is a little better than mine so I'd give you about a 55% shot.</p>
