<p>I don’t think that you’re going to get in unless you get at least a 2150 on saturday (which is possible :)). </p>

<p>Maybe if you have time, take another SAT2 in a subject that you’re comfortable with. This may offset your 670 scores.</p>

<p>good luckzz!</p>

<p>It’s a pretty big reach, unless your SAT improves substantially. But you have the qualifications for many excellent schools.</p>
