<p>yes you have a chance</p>

<p>and depending on what your applying for, your SAT's arent horrible, but they are kind of low so definately take them again... i got 1720 my first time</p>

<p>Right now you are at reach. Your Sat score is at least 150 low.--more depending on the school you are applying to. Your ECs are good your GPA and rank are just average. You still have time to improve each catagory. Give it a shot and apply. Be sure and apply to safety schools as well.</p>
