<p>very good chance...SAT might be a little low..but i think your other stats make up for that</p>

<p>SATs are fine...combined. V and W are high - W the highest you can get obviously - but your math isn't so great. So what - they can see that you are better at one than the other. If you have some sort of problem with math let them know (like a disability). I'm not saying the score is bad at all but if you do you should 'use it'.</p>

<p>You should, however, get in on your scores and activities as there stand.</p>

<p>Thanks for your responses. Svwells, my only disability is being insanely nervous for the math sections. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, I guess :) Do you know if Wake considers the Writing section or if it's just brownie points if you do well?</p>
