<p>Hey. While your SAT scores are low, they aren't COMPLETELY out of reason, so don't count yourself out. I hope you didn't send all of your SAT II scores- they are also pretty low :(. You should retake SAT IIs next month for your regular decision schools- it's good to not get your hopes up because on that day when the decision comes you will of course be overjoyed if it's positive but won't be totaly distraught if it's a 'no'. That's my mindset, anyways. You sound like a typical school leader- but where are the sports? I don't know why you loaded up on APs if you weren't really strong at the subjects, 3s and 4s aren't Columbia material, but since you have taken so many, you may be able to get away with it. I'll give you a 35-45% shot.</p>
