Skating has been a huge part of my life for many years, and I know I can definitely write a good essay that shows the passion I have for skating and how it has influenced me. Personally, I think it is something that could set me apart from other students with similar or slightly higher grades or test scores. </p>

<p>Any suggestions/improvements would be greatly appreciated. I'm aware of where I stand for these schools in terms of test scores, but I would like to know where I stand as a complete applicant. I know I don't have the perfect 2400 or the 500 hours of community service like some CC'ers. Thanks in advance for the input!!!</p>

<p>well you know you have a huge hook with that skating. your sat is low for princeton/georgetown and so is your top 10% rank. i say you are in everywhere except princeton regardless because of your hook. now, if you can up that sat to 2200 like you said, princeton would be likely</p>
