<p>I don't see the point in asking? Close to straight A's, 2300, senate internship, random ECs, and more importantly, 800s on all the SATIIs.</p>

<p>Just structure the ECs so it's based around some kind of interest, if you have one. Or really, just group similar ones together.</p>

<p>You're fine, you stand a chance.</p>

<p>Sorry if it's offtopic, but is your username referring to the song?</p>

<p>yeah, haha great song, saw it in a Charles Barkley mixtape.</p>

<p>The AP Scores are hypothetical (though I have been getting 5s in my practice tests) and so are my SAT I tests (I'm getting in the mid/high 2200s in my diags from the Collegeboard book).</p>

<p>But, I just wanted to know what my shot is in the best case scenario.</p>

<p>Thanks for the resposne.</p>

<p>read more on collegeboard about SAT Subject scores so you wont be freaked! 600's are excellent!! any 700 unbelievable...</p>

<p>Given your hypothetical scores, you would have a fair shot.</p>
