<p>Your grades and SAT scores should get you in with no problem, since you are in-state. The relatively low reading SAT score will likely affect your ability to get merit aid, but I can’t imagine that you wouldn’t be accepted. I would suggest not self-reporting the AP Biology score of 3. If any of your ECs include leadership experience, you should make sure and mention that. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks so much! Also, I was hoping on getting into the A. James Clark School of Engineering to major in biomolecular and chemical engineering… what kinds of things do they look for to get in/would I have a chance? My reading SAT is low which worries me, but I am hoping that my GPA and internship will help cover it a little.</p>
