<p>Your objective stats are generally in the middle 50% range for admitted freshmen, so you should be a competitive applicant. The exception is your ACT score, but even if you submit this, the adcoms state that they will only consider it if it helps you. Remember though, admissions is always unpredictable and only about 20% of applicants are admitted.</p>

<p>Your SAT II scores are solid as well. Generally the only students who take the subject tests are those who are applying to highly selective colleges. Being in the 81% of this group is commendable.</p>

<p>Decent ACT score and decent SAT. EC’s are average but they may put weight on music if you plan on being in the band.</p>
