<p>Low SAT I Math and the lack of a math or science SAT II are question marks. If you earn 5’s on the Physics and Calc APs, that will help–but wait, they won’t come until June. If you are not recruitable for soccer, the coach’s rec will not hold much sway for admissions.</p>

<p>Legacy status is usually limited to parents being undergrads at the college. If your relatives have been good, consistant donors, that may help you.</p>

<p>So, I conclude the chances are the normal 6-7%. Write great essays!</p>
