<p>I think you have a good shot at all of these, especially in light of your circumstances growing up. You have a nice variety of interests and school studies and you preformed very well both with your GPA and on your SAT’s. Although, SAT II’s might have been a good thing to do. Most schools ask for at least two tests preferably related to your major. But I think you credentials are awesome! But the lack of Subject tests worry me slightly. </p>

<p>I feel like VTech won’t hurt you because of a lack of SAT IIs.</p>

<p>I don’t know much of any of the others, but I would definitely say you have a good shot at VTech. If you lived IS, I’d say you were a shoo-in, but I still think you’ve got a nice chance there.</p>
