I'd hope/think that your chances would be pretty good. My son has a 2270 SAT I with 770 math, 770 Biology, 770 French, 770 US History, and 740 Chemistry SAT II scores. He has applied to Huntsman which is even more selective.

Good luck!

You def. have a shot. Have you applied already?

rjs2131 · 03-13-2008, 07:39 PM

I applied RD...I sent a letter at the end of February outlining a major event I hosted which raised around $22,000 for underprivileged children in India. How much of an impact do you think this might have?? Thanks tons for your feedback.

i think yo have as good a chance as any. in the end it will boil down to the will of the admissions board.

the school turns away scores of talented people every year. that being said, i think you have a very good chance
