<p>Thanks a lot =)</p>

<p>Scores look good. Rigor looks great. No Leadership Positions? That can hurt you. Okay shot i'd say. But i am no one to chance you....................................</p>

<p>decent shot i'd say, SAT is average, SAT II's good, ec's below average, gpa a bit hard to say. What is your school's grading scale? Is it by 10s? And how do they weight?</p>

<p>great job!!! never give up!!!!!!!</p>

<p>just FYI:</p>

<p>you said that you're an IB Diploma Candidate, but tobe an IB diploma candidate you have to take atleast 6 IB SUbjects out of which atleast 3 at hier level and 3 at standard level AND you have to do 150 hours of CAS, Extended Essay and study Theory of Knowledge AND submit a Theory of Knowledge essay so that you have a total point score out of 45 (3 extra for EE and TOK)</p>

<p>...so technically you're NOT a IB Diploma Candidate</p>

<p>To clarify, my school combines IB/AP curricula in one class. Because of district policy, the classes only reflect the AP title. I have completed my CAS hours and EE during the summer. I will be taking HL Math, HL Chemistry, HL English, SL French, and SL Philosophy this year. As for the ToK paper, I will be working on that during the school year in my philosophy class.</p>
