<p>I'd say you have a pretty decent shot. Try to raise your CR and Writing scores.</p>

<p>whoops. i put 750M i meant 750W</p>

<p>It's looking great. Your ECs are heavily geared toward Math/Science, which is great since it matches with what you want to major in. SAT and SAT II scores are awesome. It never hurts to try again for the SAT, but 2220 is definitely an awesome score. Just continue pursuing your activities and get more As to boost the GPA. Other than that, it's looking good!</p>

<p>Thanks for your input. I'm going to try to do better on the SAT the second time around, so I'll see how that goes. But now I am a little more confident that I will get into a good school, so thanks.</p>
