<p>I think you have a chance at all of the schools, but the SAT IIs are a little low … How did you do on your APs? They mean more than the SAT IIs do! Good luck!</p>

<p>AP scores are not required & will have little bearing on admission. SAT II’s will not be a major factor either with your SAT I score & GPA. I think you’re a very good canidate at these schools. I’d be surprised if you weren’t admitted to 3 of the 4.</p>

<p>Thank you for your help. Lexieam, it was listed that he was an AP Scholar. Isn’t that enough to show colleges he did well on them?</p>

<p>And thank you, csdad.</p>

<p>As a side note, he took 5 APs in two years, since they aren’t offered freshman or sophomore year. I believe the most one can take at his school is 6. In other words, his schedule is almost as hard as can be.</p>

<p>Good luck! :)</p>
