<p>What are my chances???</p>

3

<p>Actually my average is an 86.33 UW.</p>

4

<p>Your GPA is low, even for a tough curriculum, but your SATs, SAT IIs, and extracurriculars are very good. I would say you definitely have a chance.</p>

5

<p>bad chance or decent chance? in other words, is it worth applying to or is more of a waste of $65?</p>

6

<p>Decent chance, your test scores may put you over the top, especially if your essay is a knockout. I would definitely apply.</p>

<p>Casablanca,</p>

<p>I think you are a competitive applicant notwithstanding the gpa. So applying is certainly not a waste of $65 because you have a real shot. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
