I know someone who had the opposite problem: great GPA and ECs, but middling SATs. She was deferred, then offered spring admission.

ok since u failed two regents it might be a different story.

sports = good
GPA = mid-range/acceptable
Fail regents = works against u
2200 + = major hook

my sis got in with like an 1800 sat and she was only in like cheerleading and she took APUSH with C+ (2 ap score) and she took like 2 SAT IIs both below 650 or 600 so thats where my opinion comes from

Her avg was C+ and got in? Wow what school did she go to?

And also, can/should I wait and retake the regents this year (senior in mid january) and applications early February?

No I don't think her average was a C+, just that she had a C+. That being said, even though I don't know the conversions of an 87, kids with weaker scores and stuff got in OOS from my high school. I would personally put money on you getting in. But just for getting more assurance I would ask your gc to see if he thinks you'll get in, and if you have naviance it may be easy to see what kind of grades you need for admission. But really with a 2200 and in state you should walk in pretty easily.

Bronx Science uses Naviance as a tool for college planning. You can login and compare your numbers (SAT and GPA) with other Bronx Science applicants. That will give you a better senses of chance.

Good luck!
