chance back please!!!</p>

<p>so, you’ve got decent scores and grades, that will only get you so far. what you really need is some spectacular ECs, and right now you are majorly lacking in that dept. However, I don’t think some of the schools you listed would be unreasonable to get into with those grades though. Davidson will be easy (i live in NC and see a lot of people get in there), and that is a fabulously regarded school in NC, you SATs are above bowdoin’s average I think, so you’ll have a good chance there as well. If you apply Early Decision to williams, amherst or any of the other ULTRA competitive schools you listed, you’ve got a fabulous shot. that’s what i recommend. good luck!!!</p>
