I'm applying ED II. Here's my info...

GPA: 4.6 weighted, 3.7 unweighted
Class rank: 46 out of 472 at a good public school (we have 5 people that graduated last year and now go to Harvard, to give you an idea)
SAT I: 780 verbal, 610 math
SAT II: 800 Math IIc, 750 Writing, 730 Spanish

I've taken almost all pre-IB/IB/AP courses (with the exception of electives like sociology, gym, etc. and World History last year). I'm a National Merit Semifinalist and I got some award from the University of the South called the Sewanee Award for Excellence. I don't do any school-related sports, mainly because I don't have time - I've held a job (25+ hours a week) for the past two years. I'm a dedicated equestrian; I spend about 6-8 hours a week (way more in the summer) riding/training, and I've competed successfully. I did volunteer work at the Humane Society and a therapeutic riding center in 9th & 10th grades...not a ton, but I am including it on my apps. I've also participated in my school's Spanish Club, and my county's Institute for African American Leadership (my dad's black).

That's about it...do you think I have a shot?

Def retake the SAT, I bet you can get a much higher score
