<p>Can you guys give me some sort of rough percentage chances? Appreciate it.</p>

<p>no chances since you are retaking a 770 in physics. They will look at that and laugh, but other than that you have good chances ~ 20+%</p>

<p>You will be a very competitive applicant. Lower SATs won't matter - they look at the highest scores. And you don't need to retake physics (it won't hurt you to retake, but won't help you either).</p>

<p>I don't think I'm qualified to give you chances in percentage form, but I'd say in general that your chances are quite good. Admission will depend quite a bit on your essays, since many students have great stats and essays are the best way to peer into a person's world.</p>

<p>I guess it's too late to tell you this... but it really wasn't necessary to retake the physics SATII, but if it makes you feel better, it's your money. For the SATI, I believe 70% of incoming freshmen have 2100+, or 700 on each subject. This means that of course, 30% have lower than 700. If you apply this to the SATIIs, it is clear that a 770 is pretty darn awesome. Good work.</p>
