<p>Test scores are there, ECs are plenty. Grades and classes are also there. If you write some good, candid essays and get some good recs, you have a VERY good chance of getting in! Hope you are applying to SEAS, you have awesome math and sciences.</p>

<p>ps go chinese ppl!! :P</p>

<p>SEAS....hmm yeah I didn't think my scores were up there. I think I applied to the regular college. The thing is, I'm not sure where I'm going because I got into debate junior and senior years and I feel like I might take the business route instead of the science route. We'll see.</p>

<p>But thanks and yes, go chinese people!! :D</p>
