<p>Everything looks solid. Consider subject testing also to help you stand out more. OOS students definitely have to fight harder to get in, and with the Common App now accepted, less people are getting in. It’s worth a shot to retake the SAT and see if you can get closer to perfect, other than that really good job</p>

<p>… his SAT score is great… what are you talking about?</p>

<p>I actually edited when I saw that it said 2300, not 1540. I’m pretty much splitting hairs with that score because otherwise he looks like a perfect applicant. Would definitely recommend subject testing though</p>
