please tell me if i have a chance i think that i am doomed due to a 3.65 gpa

<p>you have posted this in every single ivy board. i think you know what kind of chance you have. look at the other chances posts and who got in ed.</p>

3

<p>I see you’ve taken like 328390220 classes and are involved in at least as many clubs, but what I don’t see is any real demonstrated commitment aside from the community service.
I suggest that you don’t put all that on your app. Figure out what’s most important, and play it up.
Unless your dad teaches at the university to which you’re applying, they probably won’t care.</p>

4

<p>Yes, do try to play something up. Play up law law law law it seems…</p>

5

<p>I’m thinking about expressing my law ec’s the most since I have done a lot with it.</p>

6

<p>loooooooonnnnnnnnggg and boring resume. Try picking a few things that you’re committed to and using only them. A laundry list like that shows breadth but no depth.</p>
