<p>oh and i also took 3 honors courses in addition to my 6 AP classes</p>
<p>You already know that your scores and GPA are low, but if your ECs, letters, and essay are as good as they seem here, you have a chance at RD. My guess would be about a 35% chance. That mostly depends on the size of the applicant pool this year, which is really hard to predict. But it seems like there will be a moderately significant rise in pool size this year, which will lower your chances, especially since you’re applying from out of state.
But don’t let your weaknesses make you lose hope, because you still have a chance. Maybe about a 30% chance if the applicant pool has significantly higher stats than last year’s. Good luck!</p>
<p>(Also, I know it might look like I don’t know my stuff since I just joined CC, but my mom’s a college consultant, so don’t think I’m just making stuff up!)</p>
