<p>Sorry to tell you, but you have absolutely no chance.
JK.
Just do your best on interviews and essays, they’re more important. Besides, since real AO’s won’t comment on this post, you really can’t know until acceptance day, so good luck!</p>

<p>Bumpity bump bump… bump bump bump</p>

<p>I think you have good shot. I wouldn’t worry about it too much. How are you taking courses through Northwestern if you live in NY? Online?</p>

<p>yeah, not as good as CTY but Johns Hopkins doesn’t offer stats</p>

<p>hey guys, i know you can’t tell me for sure, but if i could get more than two opinions it would be great, thanks</p>

<p>I got accepted to hotchkiss this year as a 11th grader, you are a perfect candidate… The only thing now is that you have to have a good story in ur essay</p>

<p>How much of a part do grades play in admissions? Say I went down to a B+ in two of my subjects, would it ruin my chances?</p>

10

<p>You have a great chance. How about Horace Mann?</p>

<p>Too far, I considered it though</p>

<p>I hate to break the news… You have absolutely no chance :p. I love brag threads (people who know they have a good chance, yet they post :P).</p>
