<p>id say youre in. your rank and gpa speak for themselves...5.1 Weighted? that's insane. Theres only a slight disconnect with the sat scores, I'd expect them to be higher, which draws into question the difficulty of your school a little bit. I know that sounds unfair, but I'm thinking like an admissions officer. I wouldn't worry too much about it, I'd say your a shoo-in but I would study up and take the SAT again just because I think you could do better.</p>
