<p>You are obviously very strong in the humanities, but your scores in math might be your Achilles’s heel, especially since it sounds like you want to do pre-med. Work on getting those up. Try taking Math II; even though it is harder than Math I, the curve is easier so (with some studying…Barron’s has a good reputation for this test) it shouldn’t be too hard to pull off a good score. Your GPA is a little on the low end, but it is hard to say without knowing how your school grades–class rank might help for this. Your ECs are above average and well rounded. The very top tier (HYPSM and the like) would criticize you for not showing intense dedication for one area, but it shouldn’t hurt you for these schools.</p>
