<p>Hm, i think you have a good chance at San Diego. Although with your stats I would consider the Bronx Zoo too.</p>

3

<p>NO TEST SCORES, fail! The best you could be is a seeing eye dog.</p>

4

<p>Yeah you did get a 40 on your IQs. Most dogs get in the high 90s or low 100s. You may have to just be put down cuz you suck</p>

5

<p>do you need financial aid?</p>

6

<p>LOL 10 char</p>

7

<p>Are you an underrepresented breed? Because I bet you could get in with those scores if you’re a URB.</p>

8

<p>Your ECs are weak (I think everyone’s ECs are). You need to write good essays. Get good recs. Good luck at Scranton. I hear they reject one out of every four 2400s.</p>

<p>LAEOALEOALEOL.</p>

<p>Yes, being mixed westie-havanese will count you as a URB. Based on this, your chances are as follows:</p>

<ul>
<li>San Diego Zoo: slight reach</li>
<li>St. Louis Zoo: reach</li>
<li>Minnesota Zoo: high match</li>
<li>Woodland Park Zoo: match</li>
<li>Scranton Community Zoo: low match/match … they’re one of the “New Ivies”</li>
</ul>

<p>At least you aren’t Asian.</p>
