<p>Muhlenberg looks a lot at personality qualities… Having said that, I think if you apply ED you have a good shot, but RD i think it would be somewhat of a small reach. </p>

<p>Do your best to get really good grades next year and at the end of this year. It will really improve your chances!</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>EDIT:Actually, I think it would be more of a match for you. You have a great resume and great SAT scores, and i think you have a good shot at getting in.</p>

<p>You should be an easy admit <em>IF</em> you take time to visit and let your unique qualities be known. Muslim, 4 languages, first generation… are all big pluses at Mberg. This may not be so at top tier/ivy schools, but for a school like Mberg, <em>IF</em> they clearly know about your personal qualities, you should do well.</p>

<p>Also, you are listing too many clubs. Yes, too many. Find one or two that really distinguish you. You can still list them all, but make sure you can connect with someone in one area. Maybe it is your photography and work in Europe??? Good luck, would love to see you there!</p>

<p>Just curious… is there a specific reason why your GPA is not in sync with your SATs? If so (were there extenuating circumstances?), you might find some way to communicate that on your application.</p>
