<p>Given your stellar SATs and because you have an explanation (and probably a compelling essay) to justify the somewhat weak GPA, I’d say you have a pretty decent shot (high match / low reach). (Keeping in mind the admit rate…)</p>

3

<p>Your explanation for the decline in grades should get you past that impediment. Your scores look great. Your ECs are a bit weak.</p>

4

<p>Brain surgery isn’t a legit excuse…probably reach.</p>

5

<p>ED- great chance
RD- decent chance to a bit of a reach</p>

<p>i think your reasoning is legit but do agree ecs a bit weak
with great recs and essays you could def land yourself a seat</p>

<p>Heh, 'till someone tells you that you’ve got a giant brain tumor, I don’t think you appreciate what it can do to someone. But, whatever, you’re entitled to your opinion.</p>

7

<p>I was kidding dude. That was meant to be a sarcastic statement. Obviously a brain tumor is a very legit reason.</p>

8

<p>How come the school didn’t give you a break for the brain surgery? My sophomore year when I got brain surgery they said not to worry about grades. Too bad your school was bad about that.</p>

9

<p>i think you have a solid shot. i think your rank will hurt you the most but def shouldn’t prevent you from getting in</p>

10

<p>Oh, whoops! I’m so sorry elementman322! :(</p>

11

<p>you look like you have a great shot! i hope you make it in too,
