<p>You seem to have fairly good stats. I think what you need to do is, within your numerous extracurriculars, find the main thing that you are passionate about and center your application around that, because right now, in my opinion, you just look like a smart guy with a bucket load of extracurriculars.</p>
<p>I’m no expert, but that’s just my advice. Best of luck to you!</p>
<p>Thank you, and I don’t all these extracurricular cause they look good, I do them because I enjoy all of them for different reasons. The thing I’m most passionate about is definatley my music and I’ll do something to make that shine more. What are my chances of getting into the schools though?</p>
<p>I would say that if you do make your music shine through and show your passion, you would have a fairly good chance of getting into these schools. But they are still extremely selective schools, so it often is just the luck of the draw. But I would definitely apply, and I would say that you could get into at least two or three of these schools.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Bump, would like more opinions</p>
<p>What the hell is a 2194 SAT</p>
