<p>i think you actually might have a shot! sat scores a little low, try to retake and get cr higher, or try ACT. sat ii scores are stellar!</p>

<p>Yeah, I know. It's unfortunate because I'm a math/science guy on the east coast, so the SAT is the test I'm familiar with, but it's also the one with 2/3 of the sections geared towards dissimilar people. An odd situation.</p>

<p>The fact that you said "yale-tastic" puts you above the masses. You sound friendly and nice. I never give chances, but something about you strikes me right. I know nothing, of course, but you should feel very proud of what you've accomplished so far. Some school will be lucky to get you.</p>

<p>I would say you have a good shot. I would say your SAT could be a bit higher but your ranks is good and pretty much makes up for it. You've accomplished a lot.</p>

<p>PS I totally agree with the above post. Similar to yale-tastic, I like 'colinization' too. lol</p>

<p>You have a really good, well-rounded resum</p>
