<p>I would say you have a pretty good shot. Your SAT scores and GPA are right on target, your ECs are decent and your instate. The only thing that could hurt are the essays. Make sure you define who you are and outline your character rather than list all the activities you have participated in. To answer your other question, I would say take the SAT again it can only help your chances, the higher that score the better the odds.</p>

<p>Like the other guy said, unless your essay really sucks, then I think you have a really good shot.</p>
