Your GPA and class rank are impressive as are your EC’s. Same with course load. In fact, the only thing that is out-of-range for Carlson is the SAT verbal score. I think you have a good shot of getting into CLA at least - perhaps Carlson depending on how they weigh that one SAT test (it’s going to be an important factor for sure but perhaps not a deal-breaker). You might want to apply to a major in CLA for your #2 choice just to help your chances. You can always try to transfer after you have some college coursework under your belt and if you keep up your strong academic performance you’ll have a good chance of landing at Carlson later on.
