<p>You’re lacking a little on SAT I / SAT II (esp. since you took Math 1, and not 2)</p>

<p>But you do have strong extracurriculars. It’s very hard to tell what your chances r, only because I’m not a sports person. But i still think you have a good chance (:</p>

<p>It’s gonna be really competitive. It’s a reach.</p>

<p>It’s a reach, but it’s a chance. If you get an interview try and make the absolute most of it.</p>

<p>Interviews are totally unimportant.</p>

<p>Coming from NY it wii be tough…</p>

<p>Don’t worry too much about your SAT scores. The mean SAT I score for accepted ED applicants was 2144, so that puts you within the range of those accepted. If your application stands out in terms of your extra-curricular achievement/interest and speaks to your personal character you could have a good shot. Its a total crap-shoot for all but the most qualified or hooked candidates, but don’t discount yourself based on decent SATs.</p>
