<p>You should have no trouble getting in.
I got in with similar stats as you:
3.8 Weighted GPA, 7 AP courses, similar ECs (WATER POLO FTW!!!), and a slightly higher SAT score (2210; 700 CR, 780 M, 730 W). As long as your SAT II scores are in the 750-800 area, you’re good to go IMO. (I got a 790 in Math IIC and a 770 in Chem)</p>
