<p>ur sat score is weak. you seem to have a lot of other ECs and what not so that is good.
increase the sat score and you prolly have a good chance to make it. Keep in mind that in order to get an application, you have to send in a paper with just ur name, sat scores (I and IIs) and gpa. They decide to send you an app based on that alone.
Being Indian probably won't help much either (most of us, I think, that are accepted are Indians).
Good luck.</p>
