<p>Go for it. Especially if you are registered with a tribe (Native American). But even without the URM hook, you should go for it. Your grades and scores are in the range, and your EC’s look great.</p>

<p>The Senate can help…but honestly, your scores are low. It’ll be a Reach.</p>

<p>If you keep your Native American hook, I’d say you have a great shot.
If not, a big reach.</p>

<p>No chance, at all. Not at all. none none none none.</p>

<p>Many, many kids / parents say there’s an LD in order to get “extra time”. If it took until 11th grade to recognize your LD, you hid it well. Quite honestly, most kids w/ an LD couldn’t handle a single AP class. And this year, you’re taking 6APs?! 12 APs altogether. Obviously you don’t have issues w/ reading, must be in Math.</p>

<p>Williams isn’t easy to get into (they aren’t known for having great support services…sure this is the school for you?)</p>
