<p>Ergh, I'm so nervous about college! Several people have told me that I could get into Mac, but the more I think about it, the more unlikely it seems I'll get in. I applied RD to Hunter Mac. I know my chances are basically slim to none due to my horrible SAT scores and the fact that their applicant pool has most likely skyrocketed (thanks, horrible economy). Here are my stats:</p>
<p>SAT: 2040 (CR 650, M 640, W 750)
Rank: Top 1% (number 5 out of approximately 1,000 kids)
Courses: (scores unknown for last 3 tests)
-AP American (4) ---Junior Year
-AP Political Science ---Senior Year
-AP English ---Senior Year
-AP Psychology ---Senior Year
-I've been in a special program in my school which accepts less than 100 students out of 1,000 kids
-All my classes have been Honors
-Two years of Latin (10, 11) - would've taken it senior year as well, but it wasn't offered
-College Level Spanish and Calculus in addition to AP courses for senior year

Recommendations: Didn't read them, but I trust the teachers and have a close relationship with them, and I know they don't write generic letters
Essays: According to the teachers who read them, they were good
Hook: First generation, low income (not sure if this is a hook)</p>
