<p>Seems like a very average application to me, not bad but nothing stand out at all. I would definitely make your essays amazing, because if they’re just “average” I wouldn’t count on getting in. You have to give them something that makes you stand out, something that distinguishes you from other applicants. To me it seems like most of your extracurriculars are just typical things we are told to do to get into college. Make sure with your essays to give your application some direction.</p>

<p>I’d have to agree. You are a solid, but unexceptional, applicant. Your Math score is a little low.
It’s a crap shoot.</p>
