<p>Your extracurriculars are solid, but I don't see enough data about your academics and test scores to really make an evaluation. Unweighted GPA, class rank (even if it's approximate) and your PSAT scores, etc.
SAT scores for OOS female should top 680-700 per section. Much lower than that and things become far more uncertain.</p>

<p>If you check back to the decisions thread for this year's incoming class, an OOS female with SAT: 700 CR, 680 M, 720 W: 2100, weighted GPA 4.7, rank 6/229, plus a few good ECs was straight up rejected. Another with 760 CR 710 M 760 W 1470/2230, GPA 4.0, rank 30/480 was accepted.</p>
