<p>I believe based on your academic merits you have excellent chances. Superior scores to back up high grades and rank. DO not report your 2 on AP English. You can report what you want unless you already sent your official scores. Really, AP scores that are low won’t hurt that much…even if you leave them out. I did so and only reported 2 grades. Your other scores will easy any uneasiness they may have. Your involvements seem great but I don’t see breath but possibly depth? I cannot tell from your profile. Your chances from an academic standpoint are great however. What hispanic are you? AND YES IT DOES MATTER, TRUST ME!</p>
