<p>Okay, I live in small town Colorado, and go to a tiny Colorado private school. I’m not a suburban Connecticut type, but I’m white and my family has a moderate income. I definitely working a lot on that SAT Math score, I know that definitely doesn’t reflect well on my math skills. Just by looking at the average scores of those accepted to Swat, I’m in the middle 50% for both verbal and writing. Math, obviously, is way low for most people applying, but the point is that I still have a chance, even if it’s a very small one. A.E., I’m curious how you determined that I have a 15% chance.</p>
<p>dchow08 is right, though. Chance Me’s are not especially helpful or accurate. The real people that can be sure about whether I have a true chance or not are the ones who will actually go through my application. And even if I do only have a 15% chance, I have to know for myself or I’ll spend way too much time wondering if I could have gotten in despite the shortcomings if I had only applied. I know myself better than any random person on a forum halfway across the country does anyways. It’s virtually impossible to just look at my “laundry list” of ECs and decide my future. Thanks for at least taking the time to try though.</p>
