<p>bdibble,</p>

<p>Your M+V SAT score is above the Deis median, your class rank is good, your GPA is fine, your ECs are impressive (though a bit overwhelming) and seem to have some focus (business, medicine, sports). Altogether, I'd say you had a good chance of acceptance, not a shoe-in mind you, but a good chance.</p>
