<p>Seems good for the most part. However, I have heard of stories where you would automatically get rejected in the first round due to those low SAT scores.</p>

<p>fabius:</p>

<p>suggest you do a little prep this summer and retake SAT in October. See if you can boost those scores over 700 to match the great subject test scores. Two-three more correct questions per test should do it. Good luck.</p>

4

<p>yea, I agree with the SATs.</p>

<p>you have a good geographic location too.</p>

5

<p>don’t send your SAT scores over (if thats possible?)</p>

7

<p>what is your definition of weighted?</p>

<p>It’s 3.92 out of 4.0…I honestly don’t know what my UW GPA is.</p>
