<li>I think your chances are pretty good. I would probably re-take the SAT and ACT just to be safe, but I think your chances look good right now.</li>
<li>I am ULTRA-CONSERVATIVE when it comes to EA but my vote would be not unless you moved your ACT up a point or two. However, do I think it will harm you if you do....no, so take it for what it is worth.</li>
