<p>I don't know how competitive the classes you took are, but I think all the work you've done in washington will make you a competitive candidate. Good luck!</p>

<p>I don't want to disappoint, but you don't have a great shot. Absolutely, it's worth applying, because you can never know. But your rank is a little low, and you should absolutely retake your SAT IIs. If you can pull of a top notch gpa this semester, that will help. Your work in Washington will def. set you apart from many other applicants, and that hook could be enough. All that said, this is only one person's opinion. I wish I could provide more insight for you...good luck.</p>

<p>In truth, your essays have more value than anything else. If you can't write well, you won't get in. That said, if you write wonderfully, you're a shoo-in.</p>
