The SAT score might get you in, but the gpa most likely will not. They tend to base admittance on numbers, and many times don't take into consideration all of your hard classes! But you can always appeal it!

Totally unrelated to your chances, but I wish I had stuck with BBYO. Gave it up after a few weeks.

I gave up recently because I felt I put in too much effort and was not rewarded.

If you don't get in when you're admitted you can still get in. If you do well the first year, you can nominate yourself and then be accepted.
