<p>stats look competitive. but which college?</p>

3

<p>They don't count writing. 1410 is pretty average, but you have to realize that as an overrepresented minority, they'll go hard on you. Nice ECs-tons of hours. Very impressive class rank. Pretty decent overall, but like rftennis said, what college?</p>

4

<p>Like everyone has stated earlier, it depends on which college, and being ORM means they will go hard on you</p>

5

<p>sri lankan is hardly overrepresented. Remember, east asians have it tough, but mideastern/south asians are counted as White.</p>

6

<p>are there 700 kids in your school? or your graduating class.</p>

<p>Yeah this is an important differentiation, because rank is by grade, not by school. You could be 10th in your grade but only 25th in the school, for example.</p>
