<p>Hello. For the schools in your state, your numbers are very competitive for Irvine, San Diego, and Davis. Your GPA is very competitive for Berkeley and UCLA, but if you can bring your SAT scores up, which you probably will, if you just focus a little on preparation, then your numbers will be all around competitive for those schools. They also look heavily at class rank. UCLA and Berkeley will also want to see a lot of extracurricular activities. You seem to have a strong focus in physical activity. You should definitely incorporate this passion into your essays and possibly in an interview. Your numbers look very competitive for Minnesota, Northeastern, George Washington, New York, and Boston College. For Johns Hopkinds, Northwestern, University of Chicago, and Washington University, you might want to raise your SAT scores more. They are definitely in range, but with those elite schools, it is always a dice throw and every little thing helps. You should also focus on your interests and convey them in an appealing manner to those schools, who look at the individual a lot. Good luck. Please give me advice as well.</p>

<p>Might look at Holy Cross(don’t have to be religious)-very good school 1 hour from Boston. Holy Cross has a very good math major and the school is need blind for financial aid.</p>

<p>Good grades, definitely retake the SAT I, and ur volunteering at the Olympics is interesting…possible hook maybe?</p>

<p>Cal, Davis, Irvine- Good chances. Irvine is guaranteed if you’re in the top few percent in your graduating class.
JHU, UChi, and WashU- reach</p>
