2

<p>SATs - Average, unless they increase.
SAT IIs - Good (They average out to around 760-770)
GPA: Good
APs - Average
Course Rigor - Average
ECs - Below Average</p>

<p>I think you have an average/below average chance of getting in. Your extracurriculars are really standard and lack depth.</p>

3

<p>take more SATIIs…</p>

<p>try to get 3 750+ scores, then you should be in good shape test-wise (so long as you get 770+ writing).</p>

<p>Also 2 APs before senior year isn’t really good enough.</p>

<p>low chances I would say.</p>

4

<p>Well my school doesn’t offer AP classes until Junior year, and we have block scheduling with 4 blocks per day so I only had space in my schedule to fit 2 APs. Will my school’s scheduling conflicts be considered?</p>

5

<p>I suppose they will, but most applicants will have 5+ APs, so only having 2 will regardless put you at a disadvantage. Although the fact that you took 2 of the hardest APs will be favorable.</p>

<p>If you really wanted you could have self studied some (which is what I did).</p>
