<p>How did you bring up that CR so well?</p>

4

<p>DAAAAMN USABO finalist?!?! You're in probably everywhere.</p>

<p>Haha nice SAT II score.</p>

5

<p>whats cr? and why is there a 10 character limit on replies(you dont have to answer that).</p>

6

<p>You have excellent scores and grades. Your EC's aren't that weak since you show dedication to a few of them. However, as you said, lack of leadership/volunteer hours may hurt you a bit. It's just that all your schools are extremely hard to get into; nevertheless, you should definitely go for it! You'd probably get into at least one of them.</p>

<p>any other opinions?</p>
