<p>I don't really have any state or national awards, just some school wide/city wide recognitions. </p>

<p>My essays and the teacher/guidance counselor recommendations will hopefully be great </p>

<p>My summer activities are not science oriented at all, which is what I'm worried about. How much will that hurt me in the admissions process? </p>

<p>Thank you for all replies :)</p>

<p>Great achievements. Congrats. If you’ve looked at the profiles of accepted/rejected students, you’ll see there seems to be little variation among them. I think you’re viable and in the ball park but many intangibles will be taken into account. Best of luck to you.</p>

<p>thanks you so much. i just felt that due to the fact that my summer activities are not as prestigious/math & science oriented, and i didn’t really do any major research, like many other candidates, i would not have that much of a chance. Thanks for the reassurance. Now, I’ll definitely apply to all these schools :D</p>

<p>What does it mean when people put bump? Lol. Is it a way to say ‘no chance’ or what? Anyways, I think you have a good chance to get in at those schools. Can’t be a sure thing, but a prediction.</p>

<p>by inserting “bump” into their own threads, the OP hopes to bring it to the first page and therefore, get more comments. </p>

<p>Note to OP: you’re not going to get any more profound answers than the obsequious one I gave you. You’re viable. Period. No one can state more. And if you think they can, you’re fooling yourself just to salve some insecurities.</p>
