<p>I'm also retaking my SAT's in the spring, so hopefully, I'll raise my SATs</p>

2

<p>Of course you should apply, you're only a junior and have plenty of time to raise SATs. Plus you're ranked first in your class. You have a great chance.</p>

3

<p>It's $65, maybe $70 next year. Are you going into premed? If yes, then make sure your app. follows that theme, like mine. Also it would be nice if you get a good internship experience, like me.</p>

4

<p>why are you asking now? as a junior, you have PLENTY of time to decide</p>

<p>(ps i vote that you definitely apply, so long as you have some desire to attend)</p>

5

<p>I mean, you can't get higher than number one in your class, so...</p>

6

<p>well, i can...</p>

<p>haha i'm kidding :)</p>

7

<p>Well, if you raise ur SAT scores (which can easily be done since you're a junior) then I think you have a good chance, and are a strong canidate. But don't apply just fo the sake of applying. Apply there if you want to.</p>

8

<p>Apply by all means. just re take the SAT and u have a very good chance.</p>

9

<p>and write amazing essays!</p>

<p>Whatever your stats were, i woulda said to apply becasue you would have regretted not doing so. GPA, exc are great, but your exc if u had a "wow" exc like an internship in the field u are applying in that would be great. the SAT is the main thing that is of concern however, but if u can raise that to 2100-2150 (1400ish m+cr) then id say ur a great applicant.</p>

<p>Are you kidding me?</p>

<p>Stop making everyone else feel so inferior.</p>

<p>I'm gonna cry myself to sleep now.</p>
