<p>All of the above information is expressed in my UC/CSU application (whether in personal statement or fill-in transcript).</p>
<p>Don't get me wrong on this. My hopes are not high, as seen evidently by my GPA and provided information. It's not like I'm the type of person who believes that they have a 100% chance of getting into any school I'd like. I know that's not true. But it's something I think everyone's experienced at one point or another... curiosity, I guess. It's like this: although your mind may tell you, "It's just not realistically possible," there's always a part of you that says, "Maybe, just maybe." But that doesn't really mean that the "maybe" is always right, so I'll just call this curiosity.</p>
<p>So... chances? Even if I'm wait-listed or put on contingency or something? I'd appreciate the help :)</p>
