<p>Do you go to Jericho, Wheatley, Roslyn or none of the above, LOL? Your SATs do not suck for Maryland, you are well within the top percentile with your 1300 SAT (1240-1380 SAT). I'd say you're in, knowing that Jericho, Roslyn, Wheatley applicants have like strong B+/ A- average (90-92). I know friends from Long Island who get in with lower stats.</p>

<p>i go to wheatley haha. What about Lehigh ED II? It's my top choice</p>

4

<p>Haha, nice. I have a few friends from Wheatley but they go to like Penn State and Carnegie Mellon. For Lehigh ED, I think you have a chance but not as quite as strong, I think from your school, Lehigh applicants have a mid 1300 SAT- mid 1400s and a 3.75-3.8 GPA.</p>
