<p>CHANCE???</p>

<p>oh btw.. is it true that some colleges restrict the number of students accepted from one specific high school regardless of whether these students are very prepared and adaquete applicants?</p>

<p>forgot to add Emory. sorry.</p>

<p>my GPA is a 4. unweighted.. do colleges even look at weighted grades?</p>

<p>bump bump bump</p>

<p>all i can speak for is ucla/ucb and i think that you're in easily.</p>

<p>In at Michigan, MSU & Chicago. Were you recruited for tennis? As an Illinois state tennis champion, you should be able to generate interest from many tennis coaches. If you are nationally ranked, then contact Stanford & Princeton. P.S. Stop whining about your SAT I & ACT scores as they confirm one another, and nobody cares about what you think that you will score on a retake.</p>
