<p>Another thing, I have been an eBay powerseller for a few years and made thousands in the baseball cards buisness. Essay worthy?</p>

3

<p>Reach for all. The fact that you have not taken any AP classes will hurt you a alot, but I think a solid SAT score and EC's can compensate for the lack of APs.</p>

4

<p>Reach for all? I would think I was a match for Indiana with their 80% acceptance rate, Purdue, and Auburn.</p>

<p>Furthermore, AP's usually aren't open to Frosh/Sophomores at my school anyhow.</p>

<p>I think you'll be in at most of these. Most look like matches or slight reaches. None are impossible. Your schedule has not been the most rigorous, but your grades (especially this year), SAT's and EC's are good. Keep your grades up next year and you'll be ok.</p>
