SCEA test scores

<p>So I'm not looking for a chance, but I have a question. Suppose we have the following situation (this is actually my circumstance): I applied SCEA. I've got a 3.98 unweighted/4.66 weighted GPA (that's one B+, my lowest grade ever). My essays were fantastic (not meaning to be conceited), ec's solid (not a god, but diverse and very passionate), hardest courseload, and good LoRs. Now add this for ACT:
Composite: 31
English:33
Math: 31
Reading:32
Sci: 33
Writing: 10</p>

<p>I've yet to take the SAT or SAT IIs, and will be taking them after the cutoff date.</p>

<p>My question is this: Will my low ACT utterly destroy my chances of SCEA? Did I waste my $?</p>

<p>You absolutely did not waste your money. No one knows what your chances are, but you’ve already applied, and certainly have a chance if other parts of your app are compelling.</p>

<p>Sure most kids have higher scores, and your chances aren’t great (like most) but in 30 days it won’t even matter. If they really want you, they’ll still take you.</p>
