<p>Your critical reading score has to be brought up. Otherwise, I made it into SCS with similar scores and stats, yet had a 780 on CR, and a GPA of 3.88. Tepper can be very selective, so I’m not very sure of your chances with the stats as they stand.</p>

<p>Your ECs are very good, but with your SATs and AP scores (although these might not be considered, not sure), I would consider Tepper a reach for you. It’s hard to tell what Tepper is looking for - SCS is more predictable in who it admits/rejects - so your ECs might make up for weak test scores.</p>

<p>do you think it would help to retake my mathIIc sat’s over again?</p>
