I can’t say if you have a good chance or not. But I will say you have the same chance as everyone else that’s applying. Everyone has an even chance; they don’t really care what you did before, good or bad. What really, REALLY matters is your portfolio. You knock ’em out with that, and nothing else matters. Just show them what you WILL do. Show them you have potential.
