<p>My school is on block schedule this year so I have semester grades for senior year (3 A's, 1 B). I took the hardest classes throughout high school (but unfortunately my school is very limited in courses so that doesn't say much).</p>

SAT subject: 770 USH, 650 Math ii (hopefully 700+ this Saturday), 660 Literature (hopefully 700+ this Sat)</p>

-Brown belt in martial arts (and tutoring kids)
-Officer in two clubs
-Church band</p>

<p>Recs: will be pretty good</p>

<p>AP tests: english lang-4; USH-4</p>

<p>Do I have a chance at all? Thanks.</p>

<p>test scores do not make or break a decision (so they say), and you can make up for it in other areas, but your SAT math and SAT Math II and Lit would be on the low end. It is good that you are in the top 5 at your school, and that you have maintained almost straight A's through high school and taken weighted classes. to be honest, the EC's you listed were generic, and they wouldn't exactly stand out to the admission staff.</p>

<p>I would give you the same as their average admission rate...that is ~10%</p>

<p>i think you should apply...</p>
