<p>Everything seems pretty strong. And your EC’s are a lot better than you give them credit for. I think you should be optimistic about your chances. Definitely apply.</p>

3

<p>yeah you’re EC’s are that bad at all. I mean not outstanding but not that bad. That 2110 might hurt a little, but once agian, it’s not that bad either. You certainly have a chance. I wouldn’t be surprised if you got in. 50/50?</p>

<p>Where do people from your high school with grades and classes like yours go to college? Since it appears that your high school doesn’t rank, it’s important to get an idea of how competitive your grades and courseload really are. Additionally, you should shoot to raise your SAT score as much as possible. It’s on the very low end for normal OOS admits.</p>
