<p>You cant include stuff from middle school on your application, so I’m not sure how much that shaves off, but otherwise you have great grades/scores, but not really any hook. You have really solid ECs but not something that makes someone go “wow”. Until you get that you still have average chances at Ivys maybe high match-match at jhu</p>

<p>bump for any other opinions please!</p>

<p>Cut the ECs down; leadership forum invites and middle school don’t matter. Garcia is a big deal. Showcase that, and things that relate to your passion in science research. A coherent package.</p>
