<p>with less than two weeks left to go, i'm definitely starting to feel the anxiety that comes with college admissions. so here are my stats. can anyone tell me if i have a fair shot?</p>

used to be involved in my jewish youth group as a volunteer but i had to stop due to time commitments after my sophomore year</p>

<p>interview was hard to read. my interviewer and i got along really well but i wasn't sure if he liked me. he came from the business school as a finance/spanish double major. not a lot in common.</p>

<p>thanks guys! :)</p>

<p>Sorry no one spoke up. I'm surprised that you aren't pursuing music somewhere. Your numbers should be okay, do you have any languages? Don't worry about the interview, its not that weighty a thing.</p>

<p>thanks. my interview wanted to know why i wasn't pursuing music, but it's just something i do now to get away from stress and stuff. i will probably continue to play on my own in college, but i have no desire to make a career of it.</p>

<p>i took three years worth of french, but could not take ap french because of a conflict in my schedule.</p>

<p>i forgot to mention that i am top 15% with a rank of 77/513. we have a VERY competitive public high school. one of the best in illinois.</p>

<p>You should do just fine. But, with all that music background maybe you can get into a group or use it to your advantage somehow in your studies. You know, use it or lose it.</p>
