<p>just my two cents… im only a hs senior, so im my opinion isnt very well refined lol</p>

<p>GREAT EC’s, really, you put me to shame. Really, really well done. That alone puts you at an advantage. </p>

<p>Your coursework is a bit lacking, but so long as its “most rigourous”, it may be ok (probs)</p>

<p>see if you can get your average 1 point or 2 up, or if you can get to the top 1 or 2%.</p>

<p>and try for a 2200+ SAT and 750+ sat IIs, and you should have a really solid chance.</p>
