<p>Match...they get soo many applicants so of course there's a chance of rejection, but if you get the SAT score higher you're a good candidate for admission. You'll have numerous opportunities to retake it and they superscore I believe, so don't worry too much about it.</p>

<p>Odds are on your side, depending on school/major. D just got into CAS/undecided with a tad higher test scores, a bit weaker GPA and rank, and ECs that were more scattered than yours.</p>
