<p>Although you don't particularly stand out, you're still a fairly solid applicant. Rigor of courses looks excellent -- SAT is a little low for comfort, but the M+V is well in the 50%, so you still have a shot. If ED, I'd say you'd probably make it; RD, you've got a shot with stellar essays and recs.</p>
