Good grades and ECs, but unless you are a minority you NEED your SATs to be higher. “Decent” SATII scores I’d say are ones that are above the 75th percentile. I had 780 writing (95th percentile), 710 mathIC and 670 literature, both of which were around or above 90th percentiles. Oh wait, the SATIIs they SAW (second round scores didn’t get to them until after they made their admissions decision) were 780 writing, 630 MathIC and 650 literature… not great, but good enough to get in last year. The thing is, I hear that this year we got over 4,500 applications so it may be more difficult to get in. In any case, good luck!
