<p>Very good chance.</p>

<p>I know someone from my school who applied ED to MCS with that same exact verbal score and lower math score and he got in. Plus, you have a high gpa and decent ecs, so I wouldn't worry about it...</p>

<p>you have a decent chance. my SAT was 590 verbal 790 math and 700 writing as i am not native English speaker either, but i got into SCS early. your GPA is impressive. good job on that.</p>

<p>hey.. i applied ed to mcs and got in.. my stats were</p>

<p>790M 760V and 740W
and I had nice ec's.. but my gpa was significantly lower :</p>

<p>3.55 uw</p>

<p>I think what mcs emphasizes most is your science experience/grades and your math SAT and bio/chem/physics SAT II</p>
