Your ECs are very impressive. GPA is good. SATs are your weak point as you know. I’d recommend you retake them and try to get 2000+, obviously the higher the better.

To answer your question about them considering the lack of resources you had, they’ll only do so if there’s something about that in your school profile or your essay. Otherwise, they probably won’t even know about it.

The best advise I could give you is to have a really strong essay. As canadian1989 said, it’s a crapshoot. I’m not trying to be cruel, but with your stats (assuming you raise your SAT score) you’re probably going to be placed in the “maybe” pile when your application is initially read. The deciding factor there is your largely your essay (with emphasis on your ability to construct an argument and keep the admissions person awake, keep in mind they each read hundreds if not thousands of these) and then the recommendations you received which seem solid.

Hope this helped. Good luck.
