<p>Frankly I think you're probably set.</p>

<p>SU stats that may be advantageous/applicable to you, according to the back of some promotional material:
38% men
7% Latino/Hispanic, 52% Caucasian
50% are from Washington state
Middle 50% GPA: 3.3-3.8
Middle 50% SAT math: 520-630
Middle 50% SAT CR: 530-640 </p>

<p>And if I remember correctly, ~60% of applicants are accepted.</p>

<p>Particularly if you're confident that your essays and recs are strong, and since SU really values leadership and community service, I would be surprised if you were rejected. Personally speaking, I got accepted EA this year with some stats less compelling than yours.</p>

<p>Perhaps I'll see you in the fall? :-)</p>

<p>Best of hopes!</p>
