<p>Your test scores are low. Look at getting ACT up so that all sections are above 31. As far as SAT IIs, you should probably try to bring up your USH. </p>

<p>As for classes, You really need to be taking at least 5 (assuming you have between 6-8 periods in the day) classes senior year to be considered by most colleges. Also, if you got a rec from your precalc teacher, then why aren’t you going to Calc BC? It looks pretty lazy to get an A in precalc and then got to Calc AB. </p>

<p>As for ECs, they are ok. Passable if you can get recruited for swimming. If you can get recruited for swimming, then you’re probably in. Otherwise I would predict either an acceptance or a deferral. I don’t think you’ll be rejected ED.</p>

<p>Good luck!
