<p>Thanks for taking the time to chance me~! I'm mostly concerned about my SAT score. It's reasonable but not really high, but I've put forth as much sweat and tears and blood (long story) as I could into getting that score, and I'm really not confident of getting anything above that. Would my other activities/achievements balance out the slightly low score? Is there anything else I should work toward from now until next year? Please tell me what you think! Again, thank you :D</p>

<p>Just by the Intel ISEF Finalist alone, will get you to most schools.</p>

<p>You have a better chance at HYPMS than most people.</p>

4

<p>Perhaps I have been overly hard on JHU, Caltech and MIT. They love Intel ISEF finalists.</p>

<p>JHU: Match
Caltech: High match
MIT: High match
U Chicago: High match</p>

<p>You are a very qualified candidate. I can see you getting into all of these schools and can also see you getting into none of them. Make sure your essays are good and you will have a decent shot at HYP!</p>
