It’s difficult to chance you without test scores.

What should you do?

  1. Take the hardest classes that are offered at your HS, and excel (get As)
  2. Score high on the SAT or ACT
  3. Distinguish yourself from the thousands of other applicants who you will be competing against

The ECs that you list above show a wide range of interests. Unfortunately this doesn’t tell an admissions much about you. What do you want to do for a living after college? How is this reflected in your EC interests? You need to draw the lines for the admissions officer. In short you need a compelling and cohesive story.
