<p>SAT's are stellar.
GPA doesn't tell me much. Could be relatively horrible, could be great.
EC's seem strong.
Make sure your character is shown by your essay. Make sure it is reinforced by the peer eval, though the peer eval isn't worth a whole lot.
Also, in response to Ivan's post, you don't need another SAT II, but I'd maybe take one in the non-sciences if you are confident you can max it.</p>
