<p>Oooh, good luck this year!</p>

<p>For SATs, you should aim to have a 2100+, maybe more for some schools. Your GPA is okay. Course rigor…well, even with your school lacking IB courses, are you taking the most rigourous classes you can? If not, is there something preventing you from doing so? And as for sports, why are you joining Senior year, of all times?</p>

<p>I don’t really feel like looking all these colleges up, but most likely, they would focus most on your SAT, GPA, rank, course rigor, essay, and recommendations if the college requires it (UCLA doesn’t). ECs might be important too, though I’m pretty sure it’s not nearly as important for UCLA and Tulane. I don’t know much about the other schools…</p>

<p>So right now, make sure you do well on your SAT, keep up your grades, and give a lot of thought to your essay. Everything else is pretty much already what’s done is done. Your most significant ECs seem to revolve around choir, so try focusing on that, I suppose. If there’s anything you’re doing just to pad your college resume, I suggest that you don’t bother with it.</p>

<p>Agan, try for a 2100+ but your grades seem solid enough to me if you want to try for other schools! Maybe look into some schools like Villanova, Pit, and maybe reach for BC? GOod luck!!</p>
