<p>hey, i would appreciate any input..thinking of applying rd</p>

<p>i am from new jersey..
i attend an elite all girls catholic high school...
there are only 50 girls in my class, so we dont rank...
gpa averages out to about a 3.7/3.8<br>
-(my feshman year i received a 3.3, this is partly due to the fact that i was diagnosed with TB (techinically i was only exposed to it, but i still come up positive on tests) and was forced onto medication for 9 months which, when i came home from sports practice, would knock me out until 1 in the morning.. which is when i would do all of my school work, it kinda put me behind)
SATs - 690math, 660verbal, 680writing </p>

<p>AP's (beacuse my high school is only about 200, we dont really offer many APs)
ap chem (4)
ap calc (taking this year)
and ap psych (my school does not offer this so its an independent ap) </p>

<p>honors - i have taken pretty much every honors course offered (except frosh year english, but i placed out of that by soph year.. and for chem i was in CP (college prep) my soph year, but took AP jr. year and got a 4).. </p>

<p>ec's
-3 years jv tennis (captain) 1 year varsity tennis
-freshman basketball
-3years varsity winter track (jr captain, captain)
-2 years varsity track and field
-2 years varsity lacrosse (i have played a sport ever season possible)

-played flute in wind ensemble at 'brother school' for 5 years
-member of NJ and catholic math league for 4 years
-peer group leader..(soph's are chosen to meet with freshman once a month to make sure they are adjusting well to the school)</p>

<p>volunteer
-member of school run SIT-UP (student in touch uplifting people) we do various activities to help raise money/food for different organizations.. 4 years
-crop walk, a walk to raise money to help end hunger ..4 years

<p>work

-camp counselor at sports camp, 5 weeks, 5.5 hours per week.</p>

<p>this is all i could conjure up without racking my brain </p>

<p>i am just nervous because i know my sat's are not high enough to get me out of the middle range..and i feel my ec's do not stand out enough...</p>

<p>You should feel quite proud of your accomplishments! To put your mind at ease a little: remember that only a relatively modest number of Conn applicants submit SAT Reasoning scores (52% in a recent year). What this means is that you're near the middle range of <em>those who submitted</em> SAT scores. Non-submitters tend to have scores that are substantially below those who submit (no surprise there), so you're really not in the middle range for the entire applicant pool.</p>
