<p>I think you have a decent shot. </p>

<p>On the pro side: you seem well rounded, good GPA (if it's uw) and you showed an upward trend in your grades, coming from a tough private east coast school, good ecs and your info show a passion=golf.</p>

<p>On the negative side: your from MA, your SAT I scores could be higher.</p>

<p>I'm a HS college counselor and if you were my student, I'd feel good about your application.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>i'd say very good chances. you definitely won't get rejected. Look at the early admissions thread to see the stats of other kids who were accepted in an even more competitive round. You are right up there with most of them, and seem better than some.</p>

<p>thanks, any other current or admitted students have any opinions?</p>

<p>If I could get in with 1350 on SATs so can you. However I was in the top 5% of my class, which might have helped me out.</p>

<p>ya my class rank would be higher but i could not take honors classes freshman year becasue of my middle school curriculum so my strength of schedule which factors into he rank weighs me down, but it shows on my transcript that as i took harder classes i did much better</p>
