will these mid-year reports help me?

<p>My Stats when I applied - </p>

<p>SAT - 1920
SAT II - Physics 540, US HISTORY 580, Math I 640</p>

<p>GPA - 3.3
Rank - 232/892</p>

<p>EC/Work
I’m going to list my most important-
Chess Team Captain, Won nationals 2 years and many states/local awards.
Intern @ Washington Mutual Bank</p>

<p>Senior Classes
BC Calc

AP Computer Sci
AP Spanish</p>

<p>I got straight A’s for Mid-year reports. Is my chances slightly better now?</p>

<p>Chances are better, but it can’t make up for a 3.3 GPA or below-par test scores. Being a chess champion will help a lot, but no one really knows to what extent except for the readers of applications.</p>

<p>phew, that’s more reassuring</p>

<p>anyone else??</p>
