<p>Given your circumstances (1st gen, low income, single parent household), I think your grades, rigor, and awards are actually pretty impressive, and your ECs aren’t bad. I think people are comparing you to the typical upper middle class, private or top public school students who post here. Your SAT scores are low, but that is somewhat expected. Try to improve your SAT 2’s as much as possible, and definitely apply. I think you have a chance.</p>
