<p>Sorry, but I think your chances are very low.</p>

<p>goud123 isn’t wrong, but you do have a chance. Many applicants will have similar or slightly higher grades and test scores than you. Even so, that’s not the end all be all determinant of admission. I think you have a chance. It will definitely benefit you that you chose to apply under the early decision process. I think you know your disadvantages (asian, grades, scores). But those aren’t significant enough to hold you back. Certainly your decision will be based on what comes through your essay and short responses. Your an average applicant and stand as good a chance as most. Remember that the cc community definitely is swayed toward the outrageous scores/grades/ec’s. Best of luck!</p>
