<p>I haven't taken the SAT 2's yet but i'll prolly do well.</p>

<p>I'm not really involved in school. I'm exceptionally good at math and science and average at everything else. I'm not that good of a writer.</p>

<p>You have good to excellent changes at everyone of those schools, except for the fact that you have little to no ECs. Might make it tough for Stanford, but Cal and MIT will love you.</p>

<p>in everywhere</p>

<p>wow, the NASA thing looks awesome, u worked fairly enough that possibly took rest of the other remaining time....but anywya, u def. have great chances, good luck! u r misssing extra curricular though..try to do something till it's too late.</p>

<p>thanks. bump.</p>

<p>u can get in everywhere.</p>

<p>hispanic female in engineering?</p>

<p>did NASA?</p>

<p>nothing to worry about.</p>

<p>thanks guys. and i'm trying to do some uil academics this year.</p>

<p>id say you have a good chance everywere BUT stanford, which looks a lot on your ECs as well as your academics</p>

<p>ya. stanford i'm most worried about. but they said that although they like well rounded kids occasionally they like 'well lopsided' ones and i'm more in that category.</p>

<p>I am guessing u r senior so i guess there is not too much time to improve ec's, but maybe join a club or two and get more ec's. Can never hurt u to have stronger ec's.</p>
