absolutely no chance. you may of as well start looking into a career of lumberjacking and maple syrup farming.
On second thought, you have a really good application with solid EC's, SAT's, etc. Although your GPA is a little low i doubt it will be that much of a hinderance and you stand a decent chance of getting in. To which school are you applying?

thacholo

Penn, Cornell, Columbia, Dartmouth

Your EC's and critical reading score are excellent. Math is below average but that can be overcome since you seem to have a clear English/reading/arts focus (debate, acting, etc.) I would be concerned with only having two average SAT II scores. That could hurt you if you are on the fringe of acceptance since taking three are "highly recommended" and part of what makes GU's application process unique. @dpad Put unweighted and class rank.. Those are the real tellers.

Didn't you say you were already accepted to Georgetown and wanted to take a gap year?

haha yeah...very perceptive of you! I guess you caught me - I just wanted to know what people thought of my resume - I see so many people here post these "Chance me" threads. I thought that people would shut me down because quite honestly, I don't know how the heck I got into this school! I was incredulous and dumbfounded that I even made it into a top 20 American university. I just think that many of these "chance me" threads are quite futile because no one on CC has a crystal ball, and admission into these schools is so fickle; there are so many intangibles that people cannot predict or account for.
