<p>Your summer programs besides the volunteering mean nothing. If you paid for them, they shouldn’t be listed on your app. Same with the NSHSS group. If you paid for entry or admittance, it doesn’t matter.</p>

<p>Your EC’s are a long list but many of them haven’t been participated in for all 4 years so this looks worse than fewer activities done for grades 9-12. Plus there isn’t enough space on the app to put all of it in.</p>

<p>3.9 is weighted? Seems low for a weighted GPA.</p>

<p>It’s unweighted. My School doesn’t do unweighted</p>
