Your SAT scores are a bit low, but everything else sounds very good, so I think you stand a pretty good chance.

I think you have a good chance. I'm sure people will hound you for your SAT scores, but the rest of your application makes up for them -- especially your AP scores. Be sure to write good essays and know how to emphasize your best accomplishments on your application.

I intend to retake the SAT with good preparation on Jan..hopefully have all scores above 650... I wonder if it will still count? Thanks for the input btw.
