<p>I'd say you're pretty good. You are almost identical to me in terms of ECs (except I didn't have any religiosu activities) and have a smidge higher SAT scores. I did apply ED though so there was a bit more leeway for me, but I'd still say your chances are good.</p>

<p>id say the chances are looking pretty good for you...i wasnt even in the top 10% of my class and a 30 ACT score..but i had a little more ECs then you, but admissions are based on a case to case basis, so nothing is ever 100% certain</p>

<p>I'd say improve your SAT to all 700's and you could get in with a scholarship.</p>
