<p>Are my extracurriculars sufficient? Should I be doing more? Are my Bs in science/math courses going to severely affect my applications? How can I offset this? What should I do for senior year math/science? Please note that these are obviously my weak points. Are the colleges I chose reaches? Am I placing too much faith into myself?</p>
