<p>you have a decent chance. your test scores are a little on the low side - esp that 630 CR, ouch- but your ECs seem good, overall you stand out as a well rounded applicant. problem is, you’re from a veryy tough area- Socal- and there will be other asian people who have muuuch better stats. have you considered retaking the SAT? or taking the ACT?</p>

<p>I think in your case its all about the essays, recommendation, short answer etc. I would add to fuzzyfirebunny that you have a decent chance if the rest of your application is oustanding.</p>
