You’re eligible. Your reading score isn’t as good as it could be, but your math score is excellent. Your SAT IIs seem mathematically fixated. You should maybe consider sitting another non-math one and getting a 740+ on it to balance out the STEM heaviness/math fixation of Math L1 AND L2, and physics which is essentially math as well. I wouldn’t send the chem score, either. Maybe Spanish since you’re doing AP? If you have done well on an AP English exam, literature would likely be a very good one for you, even though your CR score is low. But anyway, that’s not something to focus on… Just a small thing I noticed. Maybe you’re a prospective STEM major in which case you’re all set.

Make your essays authentic and meaningful and spend time shaping the narrative of your app. What do you want admissions to know about you? What makes you tick? Why should they admit you? That is a more fruitful task than obsessing over whether you have a chance at getting in. I’m telling you that you have a chance, so leave the test obsession behind and focus on essays etc.

Good luck!!
