<p>yeah your grades are right where they should be but honestly anything could happen, your sats need to jump a lil but that will come, you definately could and in my opinion should get it but that is ultimately up to the admissions officers
best of luck</p>

<p>the average SAT score for the Class of 2011 accepted through ED was 2210. should aim for a score in that vicinity. not a problem at all if you put in more hours of practice.</p>

<p>all the best in your application</p>
