<p>Your stats are pretty similar to mine. SATs are a little low, but I think you stand a pretty good chance.</p>

<p>Yeah those scores can definitely be better, and even though you have a full load of AP's, Psych, Econ, Gov, and Stats are pretty much blow off classes of the AP's. You do have quite a few leadership roles, so you have a chance.</p>

<p>What kind of courseload would you have suggested. I mean it is the most rigorous load I can take. Statistics is more applicable in comparative Psychology over Calclulus. Also I don't see how Econ and Gov are blow off classes. Maybe in Rhode Island but when two out of every three kids in our school gets a 4 or higher on the AP tests then you know the class is no joke.</p>
