<p>Additional Comments:
As stated. My 3 might hurt me quite a bit. I'm going to try and raise my SAT to 2300+ and am working on it now.
College Essays seem pretty good so far. Working on them
Teacher Recs should be pretty good to.
I don't have that many leadership positions, but most of my clubs involve "group activity", so there's not really a leadership position cause everyone is a leader. =D
Drum Major is a hard job too at my school, cause we take Marching Band pretty seriously
My GPA is kinda low cause I messed up a bit Freshman year. =/
My school doesn't really have any film clubs, but I do filming and editing as a hobby. =D</p>

<p>Bump! 10 char</p>

<p>You realize that colleges don't factor AP scores for admittance, right?</p>

<p>You have a decent chance at all of them, most are high reaches, though (but that's because their Ivies or Ivy caliber).</p>

4

<p>anyone else?</p>

5

<p>Well, AP scores would aid your acceptance if your scores are high. If you are worried about your 3, don't send it! They don't know what you get unless you send your scores in.</p>

<p>Your SATs are fine, not totally necessary to retake them. And your GPA is decent, but maybe low for a few selective colleges.</p>

<p>You have a pretty good shot, you never know though.</p>

6

<p>I could see you getting into most, if not all of those schools. Obviously, the Ivys are reaches, but they aren't impossible or anything. Also, you don't need to send that 3 in if you don't want to. It wouldn't hurt either way.</p>

<p>Can you chance me as well? For Berkeley, but also Brown ED, Tufts, and BC?</p>

<p>Any more feedback?</p>

<p>For the ivies, your critical reading score on the SAT might be low, but overall the composite score is pretty good.</p>

<p>The ivies are probably reaches, but that's to be expected. The rest you have a great shot at getting accepted to.</p>

<p>Here's my chance thread:
