<p>You need another recommendation with the counselor one (preferably a science teacher or the advisors of one of your groups/clubs).</p>

<p>Your SAT I and GPA are good. The only concern comes from your SAT IIs, escpecially biology(E or M?). Because you are planning to major in biology, a score in the 700+ will look much better. I don't think it is possible to register for the SAT II again (but you could take it as a safety student). </p>

<p>You haven't mentioned AP/IB course/scores.</p>

<p>Your chances are okay; Not great and not bad. It's hard to give a percentage of what your chances are. I tell everyone to apply (because I was a long shot myself), and you should apply.</p>
