<p>Could you do better on the ACT? Have you visited? I think it helps, and it can’t hurt.</p>

<p>If you are a TA for Calculus AB then a good score in the SAT II Math2 (700+) should not be difficult to get and surely would strength your application. Make sure you send your published research paper and band’s CD as supplemental material. I think you have the material for a strong application and thus a high chance to be accepted. Good luck!</p>
