<p>Compelling scores!!! How did you manage them? Any tips you can share?

<p>great scores. very good chance! </p>

<p>your chances are even better if your essay is about something unrelated to anything mentioned above. You want them to read your essay and say, “that’s so interesting, I would love to meet that kid.”</p>

<p>good luck</p>

<p>It all looks great…but very few of us, if any, are admissions counselors. Bottom line, if you are near the top of the college’s middle 50% SAT range with solid EC’s and recommendations, which you do, you have a better than average chance. No one can really tell you more than that. Just roll the dice and see what happens.</p>
