<p>ok....hmmm first off i think ur major asset is ur music. besides that ur ecs are a little week as summer programs help bvut are not huge. ur sats might be a litttle low but not terrible pretty good. ur gpa is strong esp for a competitive school and if uve taken a hard schedule u should be fine. while ur not as strong as others i still think with a strong essay and solid recs u have an ok shot. by no means are u a guarentttee or even an above avg. applicant but with ur essay being the key u can rise above the other applicants. btw if u have a chance plz tell me what u think of my cahcnes in the duke forum. my gpa is very simmular to u only difference basically is the verbal sat score but seems like well both be applying to washu and perhaps other schools thanks.</p>

<p>You have a chance. I got in ED with slightly better grades and SATs. I had a 1400 and a slightly better GPA. Everything else seems compareable.</p>
