<p>If he could bump up his SAT score to a 2150 or higher he would have a better shot. As of now I’d say he has a 20-25% chance due to low SAT scores and sparse EC’s.</p>

<p>If he applies as a Native American and can find another 100 points on the SAT, he has a real chance.</p>

<p>Thanks for the input. milbrook 10: Only problem with applying NA is we are not a member of the Cherokee nation since I was adopted at birth. NA is the only ethnicity that they ask for your card. He is working on his SATs he has 2 more shots. He doesn’t like ACT format.</p>
