Ok, you crazy duetchsbag. I dont know why I am searching this thread when i'm 60000000 miles away from you, but anyways, after a thourough examination of your scores and stats which are inevitably invented, (by the way I invented the "global awareness project" although in my time it was known as the "global awareness club"). I have determined that you have a reasonable chance of admission. Only through continued determination and hard work will you surely get in. By the way, say hi to hoffmanus for me. Tell my bro i send my regards. Peace Homie.

By the way please explain what treepeople is. Also, what if the admissions officer hated obama. That will screw up your chances. Take the politics out of your app.

I think your chances of getting in are pretty good - just don't forget to request an interview, like I did.
