<p>its your first post so im hoping you’re not a ■■■■■…but here it goes!</p>

<p>really stellar grades & great sat score! </p>

<p>also WOW. thats a lottt of ECs. when i first saw the length of the list, i thought i was gonna say “depth not breadth!” but it seems like a lot of them are very business oriented & you have excelled in many fields. you’ve clearly demonstrated leadership & focus. just a tip though don’t mention :
-Member of the school’s American Civil Liberties Union Chapter
-Member of the school’s Amnesty International Chapter
-Member of the school’s Musicians’ Club</p>

<p>membership doesn’t sound that impressive & you already have such great ECs you don’t need it at all. </p>

<p>chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/1290851-help-pleaseee.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/1290851-help-pleaseee.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>no this was a serious post haha
thanks for the response! i really appreciate it and i’ll chance you back for sure</p>

<p>Weird how none of this ended up working out…didn’t end up being prez of fbla or mu alpha theta, and I’m not going to business school, but as a reference, I will be attending duke university next year!
Rejected from the ivies I applied to but no regrets I suppose
Perhaps depth wouldn’t have been such a bad idea though - rather than breadth of ECs I guess</p>

<p>Nope! A 222 PSAT should be good!</p>

6

<p>did you skip calc ab?</p>

<p>a few things about this: 1) when i wrote this, they were just my projections for senior year haha - my sat score was marginally lower (like a 2310) and i was going based on the nms qualifications for the year before
i didn’t skip calc ab - my school lets us just take bc instead and has bc incorporate calc 1 and calc 2 during the course of the year…pretty fast paced</p>
