Haven't seen recommendations, but they should also be really good
-one is from my biology, adv. chemistry, and ap biology teacher (known me for 3 years, duh), and this should be really good
-other one is from my apush and ap gov't teacher (2 years), he really likes me so this one will be good too
-counselor knows me relatively well, she's the head of the math tutoring program at my school and she likes me a lot</p>

<p>Thanks again! I'll try to chance you back!</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance everywhere because you are instate, have a good GPA. Your SAT scores do hurt you, but I think that shouldn't matter for any of them, except maybe Harvey Mudd and USC.
I think you have a good chance at all of them, but do try improving your SAT score for Rice, Emory, Washington University St. Louis, Virginia, and UNC-CH.
If you can manage to get it to about a 2150, then I think you're good to go.</p>
