<p>Whoa Staten Island Technical HS - I just know that from SNL.
Anyways, your ECs are great and your GPA is on par (actually probably better than par if your course curriculum really is rigorous, which it probably will be since your school is #22), but your SAT score is just slightly lacking.<br>
Overall, I think you have a decent chance of getting in… just make sure those essays are great and I think you’re probably in!</p>

<p>Haha thats pretty hilarious! We don’t even know how they got our name to put on those skits but we love it!</p>

<p>Yeah the curriculum is as hard as you can get at high school level.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response!=D</p>

<p>you have a good chance as long as you don’t write “yankee’s rule” all across your essay.</p>

<p>Haha I gotcha, I took a tour of fenway while i was in Boston and they were cracking anti-Yankees jokes left and right… good thing I’m a mets fan!!</p>

<p>And good luck with your application.</p>
