<p>I will retake the SAT in January hoping for an improvement.
Thank you so much</p>
<p>SAT and ACT are a bit low so chances look very slim at the moment. If you score above a 2100 in January, it will become a reach (~20%). Every 100 pts above that should give you about 10% increase in chances. Your GPA looks solid but the standardized tests are bringing you down.</p>
<p>Knoppy, you have yet to grasp the beauties of the standardized test.</p>
<p>A GPA from his/her particular school is not representative of much except him/her against his class peers. The point of a standardized test is to put the GPA into perspective. </p>
<p>A person with GPA of 3.5 with perfect SATs is in much better shape than someone with a 4.0 with 2000 SATs. So if his SAT and ACT are low, his GPA is not solid.</p>
<p>Also your statistical conjectures on 100pts = 10% increase in chances etc is ridiculous.</p>
<p>I understand your point vesalvay. The percentages were only a rough estimate derived from admissions data from my high school's website. His courseload looks sufficiently demanding and combined with the relatively high GPA, he stands a decent shot if his SATs were higher.</p>
<p>EDIT: ...unless the GPA is weighted in which case would remove the pros I had noticed in your app at my first glance. If it is unweighted, it is truly amazing with that type of courseload.</p>
<p>the way you're sats stand at the moment, i'd say you have no shot, you have virtually no shot unless you pull at least a 2000 in january, if you pull a 2100 or so, which will be difficult from a 1830 but possible, i'd say you stand a decent chance, extracurriculars are fine, nothing spectacular, gpa is great (if unweighted). so basically do nothing but sat and college apps from now till then.</p>
