<p>Essays and recommendations should be excellent. I understand that I should a good chance at most schools, especially with minority status, but I'm really worried about my rather low GPA/Rank and my below average EC's. Any thoughts on my chances would be appreciated. Oh, and I currently have all A's in my classes this Mp.</p>
