<p>No problem. I had lower stats than that, but I’m getting in on the 10% thing. Texas high schools are pretty behind other states. Most of us aren’t in APs until junior or senior year. Scores like that are pretty good for some of the Ivies, have you considered them as well?</p>

<p>You have an awesome chance. Your stats are way, way, way above the average, courseload is strong, I think you’re getting in!</p>

<p>I think you have a really high chance of getting in for a couple of reasons:
a) geographically diverse - from Cali versus Texas
b) good SAT, AP scores
c) nice extracurriculars</p>

<p>As long as you don’t fudge up your essays you should be fine.</p>
