<p>Even though I am a pretty well rounded student, I am seriously passionate science, math, and economics. My teacher recs should be pretty good and so will my essays. Also, I've already interviewed.</p>

<p>Thanks for any responses :)</p>

<p>I’d say you have a pretty good chance. Your essays will be important. Be sure you carefully and fully answer the prompts, and keep the Harvey Mudd mission statement in mind. They are looking for students who are passionate about science, can keep up with the pace, and have broader interests in the world that just STEM. I honestly don’t think you need to retake your Physics SAT II, by the way.</p>

<p>I agree. Your numbers, courseload, and EC’s are all pretty spectacular, so as long as you have a good essay, you’re in!!! </p>

<p>Please chance me back? :slight_smile:
