Do you have a life? Any time to have fun? And do you really need to ask people who probably know just as little as you about your chances of getting in? Will it really make you feel better or do you just need self-validation? Is your life so meaningless that you put all of you time into getting into college? Do you feel the need to define yourself based on a set of statistics? Just relax and realize that there is more to life than getting into college.

ngm135 - good call.

honestly? No one can chance you.

but you can brag about yourself.

Wow, great job ngm135 and Dsalon for being total jerks. Because this mate spends a few minutes asking for help, he automatically doesn't have a life? Neither do you apparently. QED
