<p>No.</p>

<p>Your GPA is good, but SATs are lacking.</p>

<p>Leave out basketball completely. It shows a lack of commitment, no matter the reason. Remember quality is better than quantity.</p>

4

<p>Thats what I was thinking too, that i should leave out basketball. What else do I need to improve?</p>

5

<p>Just improve your SATs and also your SAT IIs and you should have a pretty good chance. Good luck.</p>
