<p>Yeah everything looks decent EXCEPT that SAT1…you are already an international…you need the get that score WAY higher like 300+ points higher. Also look to show a tad more initiative leadership wise in terms of EC’s…best of luck man, I hope you can find a way in :)</p>

<p>There is a major disconnect between your SAT I score and your class rank.
Unless Wes has some experience with your school, one would think that unless you get your score way up (at least 300 points like the previous poster said), they are going to view your school as not particulary challenging.</p>

<p>I think it’s going to be a rough road for you, but good luck!</p>

<p>^Agreed, but even 2k would be barely managing. At least 2100 would be my advice.</p>
