<p>I would say you have a great shot. Your GPA is really high and your ACT superscore is good, but your SAT could be better (if it goes up, great). Your ECs also look good...I think you stand a solid shot.</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot. Hopefully you'll get a higher SAT this time, but your GPA and ECs look good. Admissions are weird, so it's hard to say, but (especially if you get your SAT higher) there is nothing wrong with your stats. Good luck!</p>

<p>I don't know yet, if I improve my SAT I will submit that one over my ACT.</p>
