<p>Your academic stats are fine for virtually any college in the country, placing you around average, or above, at even the most competitive colleges. Schools looking for a specialist (team athlete, etc.) of one type or another may put your application to the side for a bit, but that’s where your interview and demonstrated interest can carry you through.</p>
<p>Wow – AP scores so good, along with everything else!</p>
