Answer 1

Your SAT is a little low, aim for at least an 1800 but 1900 would be better. With your GPA maybe an even higher SAT score would be the best option to get in. A lot of people have horrible GPAs but get a 2400 on the SATs and get in everywhere.

You have definitely fulfilled your extracurricular obligations.

Write a unique personal statement.

Try raising your gpa.
