<p>A lot depends on subjective things - how much of an interesting, passionate, and unique person you seem to be from your essay and teacher recommendations. I would guess that your scores certainly don’t preclude you from gaining admission - I know a reasonable number of people (including me!) who weren’t even in the top 10% of of their class (though I also know plenty of valedictorians). You definitely have a chance - just make sure to showcase your abilities in your application. Your extracurriculars and special interest in art look good! You’re taking plenty of AP classes and challenging yourself - that’s always good. Good luck!</p>

<p>thanks for your input madjoy. It’s encouraging to know that they don’t just look at SAT’s and rank, but the more important things like who you are as a person. I guess we’ll see what happens… even though I still have a year. :)</p>
