<p>Thanks for your opinions!
Anyone else? Are my ECs insufficient? There are very limited EC opportunities in my country. The whole system is different. Do you think i should send my scores to Bowdoin?</p>

<p>Your ECs are great. U have a great chance for Davidson. No SAT most of the times comes with specially high GPA. Also try to apply to Wake forest I would say its a low reach for you.</p>

<p>Match in all except maybe Emory and definitely Chicago.

<p>i think you have an excellent chance at all these schools. the only one that is somewhat of a reach is chicago, and if you can get your composite SAT superscore up to around 2200 i wouldnt be worried about there either.</p>
