<p>Your standardized scores might not be the greatest (esp. SAT IIs), but it seems like colleges look to those a little less than they might have in the past. At least that’s my impression. I think that your ECs and work experiences are awesome and if your essays are good you have a really good shot at getting the thick envelope!
Best of luck!</p>
