<p>oh and i have like 200+ volunteer hours from river clean-ups, soup kitchens, food banks, etc</p>
<p>gain some leadership positions in those ec’s, make sure to get good recs, and spend some time getting your SAT up, anything over 2200 would be great, and dont forget about SAT II’s, take one in math due to the huge curve and since your in mu alpha theta</p>
<p>Ok thanks for the advice. I am taking math I, chem, and biology in June and then depending on if I do better than I did on my SAT I I will retake those in October before i apply EA at harvard.Oh, and I also forgot to include my courseload for this year and next.</p>

<p>I will have half a day because for my program we have to do a rp our senior year. It is like a dissertation and some of us intern somewhere in order to conduct or research so I’ll be doing that at the aforementioned agency. In addition, this year I go there for half a day every Wednesday and will go full-time during the summer.</p>
<p>I’m sure you’ll get in to one of those schools, look at your stat’s! Being a URM is always an edge on your app.</p>
