<p>great SAT scores.
great extra curricular,
cant say much for essay/rec</p>

<p>the thing is, you have a weak junior year grade. should have more AP. senior year will impress them, but not as much. they want you to work hard in Sophomore year and Junior year.</p>

<p>besides, they only get to see your quarter grade for senior year.
im applying Dook ED too.</p>

<p>similar stat, better grade. lower scores and less EC. so. we will have to see.</p>

<p>i would say 25-35% for u.</p>

<p>^I’d say he(she) has a much higher chance than that maybe 50%, but you probelly done more reseach on the school than me</p>
