<p>Im from the bay area in California. My sat scores are: 650 reading/ 700 math/ 720 writing. I have a 3.92 gpa and have solid extracurriculars. Problem is im like 15% in my class and had declining grades last semester (long story short: my grandma passed away and had huge time commit moving my grandpa) 4 years baseball (first team all league/team mvp)/ 2 years basketball/ 4 years football (team capitan). Have other stuff but dont want to bore you guys, just want to know my chances of acceptance into the program. Thanks so much</p>
<p>You sound like a fairly strong applicant with a good balance between academics and athletics. Write a good essay and I think you’ve got a great chance. If you do have a downward grade trend, explain it in the “additional information” section so they know you weren’t just being lazy and slacking off.</p>
