<p>Your scores are a little uneven, the 680 critical reading and the physics might pull you down. Also, the AP scores are good, but not great. </p>

<p>Being salutatorian helps a lot. You should apply!</p>

<p>Are you being recruited or planning to walk on either the football or water polo team?</p>

<p>i would say you have an excellent chance
the physics thing won’t have an effect.
they explicitly state that they only consider your two highest SAT IIs so don’t worry.
and you have good ECs and community service, which seems to be significantly downplayed but i think is important.
i would say that, with good essays/peer rec/teacher recs you have a great chance
good luck :slight_smile:
return the favor?
