macrandle

maybe if you could explain why your gpa is around a B average? Other than your GPA, all your other stats are above par and should serve you well.

2. I am bad at math and science; the grades i got in there (too many Cs and Bs..) really pulled me down ):

If you can manage to write a really fancy essay then you should be fine. Since you seem to have stronger literature skills, this shouldn't be too difficult for you.
