<p>Your chances arent great…are you applying ED or RD? Your SAT Critical Reading is too low, definitely bring that up or try taking the ACT. The most important part of your application is your HS Grades and you didnt provide much information, but top 5% at an avg. HS probably wont cut it. GPA and # of APs would help people chance you better, but obviously no1 really knows. Definitely apply, but it might be a reach. Try to focus on consolidating your ECs to show a passionate focus and write an awesome essay.</p>
