<p>the best you can do is keep up the grades, taking rigorous courses, and improve SAT scores at least up to 2000-2150’s.</p>

<p>Your EC’s are good, but when I saw your EC’s they were a bit over the place. Most admission officers seek a student that is well-rounded but has a focus. If I could recommend you anything, I would do something meaningful to YOU over the summer. Sure it’s great to say I like to help people, but that is a cliche and will not help you stand out.</p>

<p>Write a good essay, visit the school (it’s great, i visited during the weekend), and if u get a chance do an interview. They also offer phone interviews if travel to DC is not possible. I have to warn you though, kids I saw at information session came from europe and western US, so may not look favorable if you don’t show interest in the school.</p>

<p>You have pretty solid chance. I would say admit if you do ED/EDII</p>

3

<p>Apply Early Decision. It is the biggest boost available.</p>

4

<p>Improve your SAT score anyway possible…you don’t want to see anything under 600 and I would strive to get at least one category into the 700s.</p>
