<p>I’ll reply to you in this thread, Woandering, and thanks for replying. First of, I would like to say you have a nice chance of getting into the schools on your list. Your GPA is overall great, but it’s not a 4.0. It could potentially set you back by not having a perfect GPA, but of course it’s a very slight problem. Your SAT score is wonderful, no real need for improvement there. But I’m sure you could get a 2400 if you ever decided to take the SAT again, which you were so close to getting. You have a great and colorful selection of AP courses for colleges to look at and be impressed. I would assume you at least got 3’s (passing score)for all of them, yes? For your EC’s, I feel like you should list your community service hours. That will show more regarding how much work you actually did once you managed to get those high positions in your high school clubs and programs. Regarding tennis, hopefully you don’t mention on your actual applications how you felt towards the quality of your skills in the sport (how you “sucked”). I’m sure you could list several more <em>cough</em>ambigous<em>cough</em> EC’s on there. This is because your list, though it has quality, could improve a little more in the quantity section. You should refuse to list your race and income level on the apps, for the benefit of the doubt that affirmative action, at least in spirit, still remains. Since you live in CA, like me, how come you’re not applying (at least from the looks of your planned list of colleges to attend to) to UC’s here? I’m sure UC Berkeley and UCLA are prestigious schools for you. </p>
