<p>Your chances are pretty good right now – a significant improvement in the superscored SAT would make them better, though. I think the humor approach is a good one (okay, that’s just because it worked for me, but still…).</p>

<p>Scores are decent, GPA is great, but there is nothing that stands out in my opinion.</p>
