<p>Do I have a little chance? Sorry my ECs are not stellar. My school is not in the U.S. so we don’t have many clubs, activities, and competitions.</p>

<p>Your SATs could be better, but you’d certainly contribute to diversity. And your SAT IIs are quite good. You do have a chance, if I were an admissions officer. But I’m not. </p>

<p>We shall all have to wait and see. :smiley: Best of luck to you! :D</p>

<p>Yeah, I agree. It’s hard to know for sure. I’ve heard of people with way worse scores getting in and I’ve heard of people with 2400s and a billion ECs getting rejected. So who knows. I think you def. have a shot though. But I’m not an expert by any means :)</p>

<p>The only way you won’t have a 0.1% chance would be by not applying.</p>

<p>Take the SAT Reasoning Test again if you wish to, but do apply.</p>
