<p>The GPA and SAT's are on the low end. However I think your unique background/international status will help you. Try to get your SATs up into the mid-1300 range and concentrate on your essays.</p>

<p>If you can, I would recommend retaking the SAT. Shoot for the mid-1300 range as willmingtonwave said. SAT Prep might prove to be beneficial. </p>

<p>Here is a personal anecdote that may help you with the SAT. Given your SAT score and given your business background, it seems like you could probably improve the math portion of your SAT. When I was a High School Junior, I was happy with my verbal score; however, I knew I could improve my math score. I found the math portion somewhat difficult because I was taking Calculus (obviously there is no Calculus on the SAT) and I had forgotten the basic math found on the SAT. I retook the SAT my Senior year, focusing only on the math portion. My math score went up 60 points and I reached the coveted "mid-1300" range. </p>

<p>Just one strategy that you might consider. Best of luck! Wake (and Calloway) would love to have the Co-President of the Business Club!</p>
