<p>any advice/suggestions would be awesome (should i retake my sats?)</p>
<p>looks pretty good to me. you've got pretty decent chances of getting in. SATs could be slightly higher (it'd be good to break 700 on all of them), but it's not necessarily required.</p>
<p>Keep up what you've got going now; looks good. But try to figure out what differentiates you from every other honors student. Other than the basketball, you've got a laundry list of pretty normal honors that doesn't necessarily affect a lot of the top schools since they see it so often...</p>
<p>Best of luck though.</p>
<p>You should have a pretty good chance if you can up your SAT score a bit.</p>
<p>thanks alot...what if I applied ED? What would you say my chances were for admission?</p>
<p>don't worry about scores, i got in with a 2060 sats, 33 ACT... if u go ED ur chances are a lot better...if u think u can improve take sats again though..</p>
<p>I think u're in if you apply early... otherwise might be a slight reach.</p>
<p>Dear Collegebound50, you should read what I wrote under Tiberian's chances thread.</p>
<p>i think if u get ur verbal to a 710-720 and ur math to like a 720-730, u should be good</p>
<p>i was looking, weinberg 2 years ago was 695 for verbal enrolled and 710 for math</p>
<p>keep in mind, enrolled is ALWAYs lower than wat they accept</p>
<p>they lose the best kids to other schools (ivies/stanford...etc)</p>
<p>i read somewhere the median admit has been like a 710-720 for verbal and like a 730 for math</p>
<p>thanks for all the help...unfortunately I have to take SAT IIs next test date and I want to apply ED so I am going to register to take the ACT and see how that goes.</p>
<p>Hopefully if I study enough for the ACTs I can get a good enough score that will boost my chances.</p>
