<p>SAT 1 needs to be pulled up a bit. Otherwise, you have as good a shot as anyone else.</p>

3

<p>which isn’t saying much. i think the rest depends on your recs and the interview.</p>

4

<p>any suggestions about what i should write about in essays? and how many recommendations is a good number, not to be excessive or too minimum</p>

5

<p>i actually sent in four. send in however many recs you think you need to address all the different aspects of you. personally, i don’t think a lot of people take advantage of the recs enough.</p>

6

<p>if each rec shows something different about you, then it doesn’t matter how many. but if they’re repetitive, then no.</p>

7

<p>what if I am a URM?</p>

<p>chances now?</p>
