<p>i think you will be competitive, ACT and GPA put get you solidly in the door, ECs seem pretty cool, and you think essays/recs will be good. Are you applying to Pratt or Trinity? Just because Pratt looks at scores a bit more importantly from what has been said on this site, so your 34 and 2 800s would make you a really strong candidate there.</p>
