<p>do you think my low sat scores will hurt my EA process?</p>
<p>Those scores aren't as low as you make them sound. You've got a 2160 composite.</p>
<p>I guess i am a little skeptical b/c i know people from last year with higher scores who were rejected EA.....</p>
<p>2160 is lower than average for an academic admit...siemens stuff and published articles (if they're legit...what journal?) can make a huge difference...bring the SAT up to the 2230+ range and you're in definitely, as it is now, maybe</p>
<p>well, does my 33 ACT score count for anything???
and my article thing is for the houston chronicle....</p>
<p>you should be a competitive applicant, but you need SAT IIs</p>
<p>okay so this is what i have right now
ACT 33
SAT 2160
SAT II math level2 800 bio 790 us history 740 physics 720
is that above the "average"</p>
<p>Those are very good scores. I don't know if they're "above average", but I doubt that getting higher SATs will make you any more competitive. No scores alone will get you in, but yours will not by any means keep you out.</p>
<p>did you perform a solo concert at Carnegie or was it part of an orchestra? Which state are you from btw?</p>
<p>stanford e.a. wouldn't be the most strategic... best bet would be another great school and try to reach for stanford during r.d.</p>
<p>Apply early to the school that is your first choice. Don't try to outsmart the system.</p>
