<p>There are plenty of ridiculous things on CC but this…</p>

<p>You have way too many projected scores/ECs/APs/etc for anyone to give you a halfway decent chancing. Re-post next year when you’ve retaken the SAT, taken some of the classes you plan to take, developed your ECs, and have fewer words like “maybe” “prob” “want” and “surely.”</p>

<p>But you do look like you’re on the right track, and it’s good you’re thinking early. :)</p>

<p>Alright. Okay that its too much projected, thats fine…but from where I stand now, how would things look? You said I’m on the right track…but what are things I should other than higher SAT score? More ECs? What kind? Etc. Any advice?</p>
