<p>I don’t know why you’re so hard on yourself. Yes, your GPA could be better. Your SAT CR could be better too. But your extracurriculars are really really extensive, and your schedule is rigorous. You have as decent a shot as anyone else.</p>

<p>Thanks for the re-assurance, it’s just that i made a mistake by not taking HL Math, so i was worried that my schedule was not rigorous enough.</p>

4

<p>somehow, im inclined to disbelieve the impossibility of 12 IB classes. its just not possible…</p>

5

<p>it’s technically 6 ib classes, but i took them all for two years, so it would be 12 classes.</p>

6

<p>I think your sat score could be higher. The other problem is that most of your extracurriculars began in 11th grade. This shows that you most likely joined them for your college application which is not a good portrayal. Another problem is that you are from a private school so your chances are even lower. But you still have a solid chance.</p>

7

<p>I will higher my SAT score, because i will take it once more. I did not really manage my time well in 9th and 10th grade so i did not join many clubs, and i am from a public school.</p>

<p>I’m sorry I thought for some reason that you mentioned you were from a private school. Ignore that statement then.</p>
