<p>Thank you for the feedback</p>

<p>If I were you, I'd retake the SATs aiming for a higher score in CR and writing. Right now you're near the 25th percentile mark, which isn't so hot. How many people are in your class at school, and how deep into the top 10% are you? Is your GPA weighted? ECs look pretty good. I'd say you have a decent shot, especially if you apply ED.</p>

6

<p>The GPA is unweighted.. My class has 54 kids in it. We don't rank, but they give what our rank would roughly be in a public school. Any more feedback after that information?</p>
