<p>Did you win anything with your clubs/sports teams?</p>

<p>Elsewhere, you look like just an average applicant. Nothing striking or special.</p>

<p>Unless you write an impressive essay it’s hard to stand out, no matter what you do. </p>

<p>Also, don’t forget to do well on SAT II subjects. You might want to take more than 2 subject tests to affirm your versatility in academic strength.</p>

<p>Really? Retaking the SAT? Ridiculous. </p>

<p>As far as test scores and grades, you’re fine.
EC’s are good.</p>
