<p>SAT's a bit low. Other than that... pretty much the same as every other competitive applicant. It's a crapshoot guys... no one really knows. Ur adcom might have a headache that morning- ur screwed. On the other hand, if they're in a good mood, kudos. I mean, it's not like they conciously do it... but theres a lot of subjectivity in this process. I would say whether ur in or out depends on your essay and ur teacher reccs.</p>
