It’s really hard to tell from this thread. What I can tell you is that your academic and extracurricular profile is in line with other admitted students. You already knew that. You’re pulling out your hair with frustration at me right now. I can see that all the way from California.

What will really serve to make your case for the adcoms are your essays-- it’s true regardless of your standings and it’s especially true in your case, where you show the promise of any admitted student but it’s not self-evident from your profile. Why do you want to come here? What do you have to say about yourself and your life experiences thus far? Why and how are you awesome, and how are you going to bring that awesomeness to this school?
