<p>I would have to say match. Your course rigor isn’t the greatest but maybe that’s because I think that AP classes tend to have more weight than honors classes. Your extracurriculars are top notch and your SAT score is above average. I don’t see any SAT II score and correct me if I’m mistaken but I’m pretty sure you need to take 2 of those subjects in order to be admitted. Don’t forget your essay and recommendations count for quite a bit in their decision. Good luck! Maybe get those SAT scores up to get some aid :]</p>
