<p>Great chances everywhere but yo know the drill - HYP are still reaches.
DO NOT retake the Bio Subject Test. IMHO, it will only hurt you, even if you do get an 800 because adcoms will think you are a bit over obsessive. But do retake the ACT, looking at your SAT II scores, I know you can do better on the ACT if you study. Good luck with the admission game!!</p>

<p>Yeah buddy I dont think you need us to chance you, you pretty much at this point can stop worrying. Your stats are amazing. You can do nothing to improve your chances, really, except for maybe retaking the ACT (or consider the SAT). Dont retake the biology SAT II, you're making me feel retarded! Honestly, a college will not be saying "oh, well this student got a 790 on their biology SAT II. that's just too low for us. we would have accepted him if he had an 800." Relax, you're in better shape than the vast majority of us.</p>

<p>Do you qualify as an URM?
Actually, probably so. There aren't that many Chinese Hispanics, but I'm sure you know better than I.</p>
