^Nikkor50mm is right, and this point illustrates well, I think, why it’s pretty futile for people to try to give individual applicants “chances” on these threads. What seems impressive in one context may not seem so in a broader context, nor in the context in which a particular college’s admissions process operates. Giving general, factual (emphasis on factual) information is far more helpful to prospective applicants, who can then attempt to apply that information to their own particular situations. Otherwise, we are at best wasting people’s time or at worst misleading them to their potential detriment.
