Writer for my school newspaper 4 years, E-I-C for 2. My school newspaper used to be instantly discarded by the students at my school because it was poorly put together and utterly boring. When I became E-I-C, I made many changes. First of all, the articles now have a global feel to them (meaning they are not just about the school). I also put the newspaper online (it was not before I became E-I-C). The layout of the paper has also become much more professional. When I interviewed with volleges, I showed them a newspaper before I became E-I-C and after, and they were blown away.</p>

<p>I like everything about your application except your test scores. THe math is poor and the CR and W are very good, but not overwhelming. Why no Subject Tests? THey are not required, but they might have helped (especially if you had done well in a Math test). ALso, did you take any AP tests last year?</p>

<p>haha go us we both have 1330s- even though i have a 2130 overall</p>

<p>i think your chances are as good as anyone elses but i’m not an adcom so i could never speak for them. i guess we just have to sit tight till april</p>

<p>My HS does not offer a ton of APs- as juniors, the only one offered was USH. I got a 4. As a senior, I am taking AP Gov and AP Lit and Comp. In terms of science I am taking Honors Anatomy and Physiology (lab course) and for math I am taking Honors Precalc, since I only took Alg. I my freshman year</p>
