I don't know. I mean you could rock them with your volunteer work and and essay or two on that. Otherwise your GPA is a little lackluster and your SAT is definitely not up to par. Also Your senior schedule has 3 of the 5 weak AP's on it which the university will note (unless you had no other options or you took every other possible AP that you could). Your weighted GPA shows that you challenged yourself early on although you do get a pretty big boost for honors/AP classes.

How hard is your school? From you rank I would say it is pretty good. Is it a public, private or charter? That will probably play a big part. Right now its a mid-high reach unless you have a hook.

School is public, plan to retake the sat studying a lot so expect a 1300. My school is preety hard when it comes to the top 20%, we send a couple of kids to Ivies and a lot go to UF, which is harder to get into than carnegie (I think).
