<p>yeah you have a pretty good shot, but i agree that your SAT score is a bit low. a lot of the people who got accepted from out-of-state seemed to be in the mid 1400's at least. your ECs are awesome, though!</p>

3

<p>I wouldn't worry too much about your SATs. Even if they stay the same as they are now, I would be surprised if you didn't get in.</p>

4

<p>Yeah, you're probably in.</p>

5

<p>Write decent essays...and you're in.</p>

6

<p>Yeah you're in.</p>

<p>I don't think your SAT scores are low at all. The average is only in the mid 1300's, and I think you have better than average school records (considering your high school) and ECs.</p>
