<p>After seeing a bunch of kids go through this my take is:</p>
<p><1400 is going to make it tough, unless you have a real legitimate hook (legacy is not going to make a difference here)
1400-1450 if you have done something really memorable, could work
1450-1550 V & M, gets you a good fair look (many accepted in this range)</p>

<p>Writing is still essentially an SAT II, and treated as such</p>
