<p>Your SAT is strong but as I think you know, your GPA is very low. Don’t send in the AP or SAT II scores for Chem. And deff. dont send in the SAT II for Lit.
Your SAT might balance out your GPA but that would mean you are behind those students who had a good GPA(3.6-4.0) and SAT(2040-2400). So your essay becomes the most important thing on your app. followed by your recs. You should make sure both are amazing if you want a shot. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
