<p>You have a very good chance of getting in. You’re only weakness is that your math background does not seem to be very strong (considering your SAT math and SAT II math are outliers). That being said, since your intended major has nothing to do with math, it probably shouldn’t be a big problem.</p>

<p>SATs look good, try to up the Math. Don’t bother sending in your Math II score, imo.</p>

<p>It’s too late now, but I would look for more diversity in your extracurriculars. How about a sport, or an instrument/craft? Your extracurriculars are pretty run-of-the-mill, and not really distinctive. Sounds like you have a good language background, which is good (greek and spanish, right?). I would suggest that you look for ways to really single yourself out from the rest of the applicant pool in your essays, because your transcript isn’t fascinating, though it is qualified.</p>
