<p>You definitely have a lot of things going for you. Looking over your achievements, I think if you communicated all of those things well on your application you have a good chance of getting in. The only thing that is a little low is your standardized test score (they really only take into account the combined Math + Reading score, and the lower to upper quartile range is something like 1280 - 1450 or something like that, and you have 1300). But it is still somewhat close to the median, and you have many other things going for you such as class rank, high GPA, extracurriculars, ap courses, and demonstrated leadership. </p>

<p>But, please keep in mind that the program keeps getting more competitive year after year, and in the end some of admissions really is up to luck, so don’t start getting your hopes too high just in case you don’t get in (which is a real possibility). </p>

<p>My advice: you already handed in your application (unless you’re not a high school senior yet, in which case you definitely don’t need to be stressing about this right now), so just realize that no matter how much you think about applications, it’s not going to affect the final result. Enjoy your senior year and start thinking about what you want to do in college so you can get a head start on those plans.</p>
