I applied a while ago obviously but with decisions coming out in 5 days I just wanted to hear some (hopefully) positive encouragement…but lay the truth on me.

Also, I took AP microeconomics, AP macroeconomics, and AP government over the summer (my school does a gov/econ block so they made me take all three if I didn’t want to take block senior year :-/) so I’ll be taking those AP exams in May with the rest of my classmates (except maybe gov because I forget history quickly :-/)
Academic Clubs: Speech and Debate, MUN, Mock Trial, Academic Decathlon, TSA, Robotics. I’ve won many awards in everything listed with state awards for debate, awards for MUN at college conferences (well, high school conferences at colleges so very large committees), county awards for mock trial (my school won 2nd place my freshman year out of LA county), regional awards for Acadec, qualified to nationals for TSA (and attended but didn’t win anything) and I joined Robotics senior year so…

Chances?
