<p>Don’t retake the 2200.</p>

<p>Great shot. Pretty sure you’re in, though I know admissions is not guaranteed and there’ll be some people here who will wax in circles and give you vague responses. Great stats, great resume - good luck!</p>

<p>As others have said, it looks good to me. As long as you have great essays and good enough recs, then you should be good. HOWEVER, some pretty qualified candidates (had good grades, good transcript, pretty good extracurriculuars) I know did get waitlisted, so per usual take what I think with a grain of salt.</p>
