<p>Your numbers are fine, but numbers alone will not get you in. That is true for other top schools as well.</p>

3

<p>Your scores won't keep you out nor will they get you in. Nothing particularly stands out among your ecs. What is your intended major?</p>

4

<p>not quite sure yet... definitely science related (biochemistry or chemistry).</p>

5

<p>champ.... you have some really solid stats. as the other posters have pointed out, nothing jumps out though. SCEA admits those on the verge of curing cancer....from a strategic point of view, you would be better off applying to somewhere with a slightly higher EA/ED admit rate, and then maybe trying your luck at Stanford RD. just my two cents, but im in a similar situation, and that was the info my GC gave me.</p>

<p>I disagree. I was admitted early with stats such as high GPA, high SAT, drum major of marching band, wind ensemble, NHS, science olympiad, blah blah. I didn't do anything really outside of my school... no crazy research or state-level awards. Perhaps I was on the low end of the early pool... I have no way of knowing.</p>

<p>I think you have a shot if your essays are outstanding, showing your passion, revealing your personality, and demonstrating what you've learned.</p>

<p>I hope you are kidding.</p>

<p>With SAT 1300 (and 3.0 GPA on top of it) you should not consider any top schools. Save yourself some money on application fees.</p>
