<p>I’d say match, if you’re in the top 10% of your class.</p>

<p>o sorry yeah I am</p>

<p>I had similar stats (I’m OOS as well), however my ‘numbers’ (# of APs, SAT) were higher (I had 2220 SAT, 9 APs). On the flip side, I did no community service, won no awards, had only a few nerdy ECs.</p>

<p>I think you’ll get in, but perhaps you should retake the SAT if possible–I’m not sure whether or not they look at the writing. Perhaps take the ACT. Have your parents read your essays.</p>
