<p>3 awesome recommendations (1 from a great college professor)</p>

<p>Track Coach interested in me.</p>

<p>Chances? even though this is pretty vague and totally shallow...</p>

2

<p>your SAT 1 score is too low for havard..
but your extracurriculars is the best i have seen
raise Sat score to 2200+ then you are in</p>

3

<p>With coach support you are in--ask the coach if he thinks you need to retake the SATs, I think he will say no if you are one of his top recruits</p>

4

<p>not necessary look at his act- a 33 (2190 SAT equivalent) is adequate for a recruit</p>

<p>the chem score... im not so thrilled about</p>

5

<p>Recruited is your only chance.</p>

6

<p>If you checked the accepted senior thread, you'll notice that your EC's are on par with theirs to some extent. What's different are your numbers. Raise those, (2300+ SAT I and II) and you'll really have a chance.</p>

<p>Then again, you said the coach is interested. Contact him, pester him. Get recruited.</p>
