<p>wait, how many times have you taken the SATs?</p>
<p>because if you’ve only taken it once, i would highly suggest taking it a second or third time. with a little effort a 2050 can be bumped up to a 2200 or 2250.</p>
<p>can you hype up this volunteering helping out mentally disabled children? i mean why is it important to you, do you still do it, how can you continue this but in a new an intriguing way this summer and early next year? has your work been published in a newspaper article?</p>
<p>regarding your ngo internship, do you have a recommendation from this internship you can get?</p>
<p>you definitely have potential for chicago. i mean stellar grades/rank/and great ACT score. so you don’t have to worry about the marks portion of your application. but i would really try working on creating or developing some sort of passion or interest, because i can’t really tell what you’re passionate about from the list you provided.</p>
<p>you’ve played basketball, which is great, but it won’t stand out unless you’re really good. and key club, while i’m involved in it too, i hate to lie–it’s pretty common across the country. it’s never anything fresh for college readers to see on an application. </p>
<p>instead of just putting key club president on your application, focus on developing and describing the different service projects you’ve done. I even have a friend who created a service project book, which had photographs and descriptions of the service work she did. service was what she was extremeley passionate about, so she sent it to the colleges. </p>
<p>good luck to you! you definitely have a great shot, just keep working at creating a holistic application. =]</p>
