<p>I got in with similar stats, so I’d say you have a pretty good chance.</p>

<p>Sweet, thanks.</p>

<p>I think you have a very good chance! I got in with 10 pts lower on my SAT. I only took 2 APS junior year and 4 senior year. My unweighted GPA was a bit higher than yours, but my weighted was a bit lower (guess that’s because of the APs)… and your ECs look pretty fantastic! Unless something random happens, you’ll get in.</p>

5

<p>You’ll get in unless you have other kids from you’re school applying with similar stats. In which case it probably isn’t quite as likely.</p>

<p>dude - you are SO in.</p>
