<p>You should probably start by learning to spell “altar.”</p>

<p>Doing what? Numbers are meaningless.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Depends on which sport it is.</p>

<p>With strong ACT scores, UMich should be a match, and Northwester, Stanford, and Harvard will still be reaches. I don’t know enough about the others to comment specifically.</p>

<p>Focus on maintaining good grades, doing well on your ACT, and improving your ECs. I don’t know whether it’s because they’re dull or because of how you presented it here, but they’re dull.</p>

<p>I agree with RedSeven.
You don’t seem to have anything that will WOW the admissions officer.</p>

<p>I am amused that your number of volunteer hours is 314. While being a seemingly random number, it’s also pi. </p>

<p>But yeah, decent chance at UMich — not sure about the others.</p>
