<p>If you can bring up your SAT scores to 2100+ then you have a shot for sure.</p>

<p>I agree with ^^^. Do you have any hooks? 1st generation college student, URM, legacy?</p>

<p>Well, Doing the most activities won’t really count as a benefit because it depends on how much time and energy you put into it. Also, what’s the difference between band and Jazz Band? I don’t think they would count as different activities. You don’t have to do another retake though. I think it should be okay.</p>

<p>And out of curiosity, how did you get that much time for your extra-curriculars??? Im an ex-IB student and I never usually never get time to commit to every single activity im in.</p>

<p>You do have a good chance btw.</p>

<p>You have a shot if you improve your SAT II. I got waitlisted :(</p>
