<p>Assuming no hooks, I would say you have about a 50-50 shot. That is just a gut feeling however and also assumes having a good essay and recommendations. Good luck!</p>

<p>haha thanks, i hope i can write a stunning essay, but my recs are fairly strong</p>

4

<p>AMC and AIME. Those will help you.</p>

5

<p>does race affect anything? because im asian (chinese to be specific). The Aime should help me, but my score is below the national average (2.71). HAHA will the newspaper thing help me at all?</p>

<p>You're Chinese. I'm Korean. You're better than me in certain areas. I'm better than you in certain areas.</p>

<p>It all boils down to the essay.</p>

<p>Let us pray.</p>

<p>Please dont say your 1360 is subpar.... thats a great score - one that I'm shooting for -</p>

<p>I think you have a realistic chance but dont blow off the essay!</p>

<p>good luck</p>

<p>Your SAT's are 40-50 points below ND's average. The ND average is slightly lowered by 25% legacies, so you are probably 50-60 points below the ND average without the legacy hook. </p>

<p>ND is a bit of a stretch I would guess.</p>

<p>ehh I doubt the asian thing will affect it that much, I'm Chinese too and I was accepted EA. I did have higher SAT scores than you and a 800 of SAT II Math and Chinese. But my Physics bombed (590) =] haha so I'd say you have a pretty good shot. The only thing I'd say is that you don't really have a lot of leadership activity. That's one thing on my app that I did have going for me! Good luck with your app!</p>

<p>If you have any more questions, let me know =]</p>
