<p>HEy, guys, I know this is old, but what do u think my chances of getting in are?</p>

<p>I’m 2 out of 175, from Louisiana (does that have anything to do with it)
made 5’s on ap chem and writing</p>

<p>780 on chem and 720 on math sat II’s
33 ACT
active in band and orchestra (president of the band)</p>

<p>community service with handicapped children</p>

<p>unweighted GPA probably 3.98</p>

<p>btw, should I mention Katrina, I was deeply affected by it (about 9 feet of water and living in another family’s home for two years)</p>

<p>which also affects financial aid situation, my parents borrowed money for the new house, which shows up as extra money on tax return</p>

<p>So what are my chances of getting in if I am applying for the BSA program in music and chemistry (hoping for premed w/ focus on music therapy)?</p>

<p>it sounds to me like you have a great chance of getting in if you talk about katrina in the personal statement, but then again, i’m a senior too so i’ve never gone through the application process</p>
