<p>Haha I know I’m new here but posts would be appreciated :slight_smile: I chance back!</p>

<p>You appear to be in the ball park. Write some great essays.</p>

4

<p>^^ agreed, but some improvement on the SATs would help. Also, how high have you gone in math (any calc) and science (have you taken physics)?</p>

5

<p>It would be really helpful to know your class rank or approximate decile (top 10%, top 20%, etc.). Your GPA and EC’s are fine; your SAT scores put you kind of in the middle of the pack, which still gives you a realistic shot. Good luck.</p>

<p>My school doesn’t tell us our class rank either haha, which is a bit annoying. I took precalculus last year and opted to take AP Stat this year (not a math person), and I am taking physics this year.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone!</p>
