<p>I would say deferred (if planning on EA) or waitlisted otherwise... write good essays! And maybe take another SAT 2 that you know you can get 750+ on.</p>

<p>It does look like you'd be deferred/waitlisted based on that info. Is there anything outstanding about your athletics? Do you have a chance of being recruited? A few hundred hours of service is a lot... is there a compelling story behind it? If you write good essays/have some interesting qualities you're not telling us about, you could be a competitive applicant. You certainly have a good GPA and a very good SAT I. Also you're probably going to be held to a different standard based on your background. Are you at a good public school in wealthy, suburban jersey, or... the opposite? There's going to be a lot to your application that isn't listed in your post.</p>

<p>unfortunately i fit the prototypical wealthy, very good public school in jersey. and the volunteering was just what i put-scattered... i had several different things i did like being a youth camp counselor, underpriveleged youth tutoring, etc. and i was being recruited for football until i just tore my ACL. thank you so much for your in-depth analysis though</p>
