<p>If you work very hard in Grades 11 and 12, you have a shot. If you were accepted/rejected based on the current situation, however, you would not make it in.</p>

<p>Try to get your grades up higher and take leadership positions in your ECs. Work hard to get high SAT scores as well, as Asians suffer from AA.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
