<p>I have more ECs but they don't really enhance my application,</p>
<p>Schools I am interested in:
-Cornell (CALS - Early Decision)
-Columbia
-UCLA
-UCB
-Emory
-UVA
-Chapel Hill (in-state)
-Vanderbilt
-Stanford
-Stony Brook
-NC State
-UCSD
-Pepperdine
-Pomona
-Harvey Mudd
-Claremont McKenna</p>
<p>Other Notes:
-Teacher Recs and Essays should both be excellent. </p>
<p>try to make the other EC’s you do more worthwhile, like getting officer positions. That will help you out lots

<p>Your ACT score is near the range in which many of the schools that are harder to get into on your list, for example Cornell, want you to be. The 7.0 system I don’t know about, but the uw gpa is pretty good, and would be even better if you could improve it. As the previous poster said, try to make your extra curriculars stand out, especially for your anticipated major. Good luck man.</p>
<p>Your URM status plus first gen should help your app. With that said, even without those on your resume, you appear to be a very good student with decent chances. Good amount of AP’s (the scores on the tests matter, so take them seriously). Good EC’s and good ACT score. Finally, on to the part you want to hear: your chances. </p>
