<p>You have a really well-rounded application. However, what do you want to major in? You don’t show any specific focus in any one field. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, it can’t hurt to show interest in your potential major. Also, you should check if any of the colleges that you’re applying to require SAT II’s (I noticed you didn’t have any listed).</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>All are match schools except Cornell and UChicago, which would be reach. Your race and class size will help you, but your socioeconomic background, lack of rigorous classes (dual enrollment depends on where you go), and very average test scores will not. Your GPA is strange to me…I’ve never heard of such a large scale…but that UW GPA would still be eh for UChicago and Cornell, even on a 4.0 grading scale. Yes, look into SAT II and see if you can shine there! Your ECs also help you a lot, depending on your major and your sports ability (maybe you can be recruited for sports?). I would try something innovative and especially talk about sports and your charity organization. Overall, though, strong statistics! I hope you make it in. :)</p>

<p>Chance me back please, and best of luck!
