<p>I know my ECs are weak, although I did do some important things. In Campus Congress in 10th grade I changed school policy to get sophomores' study halls converted to free periods at the beginning of the year, instead of halfway through, as was originally the case. In junior year I worked on a committee with faculty and administrators that came up with ideas to promote academic honesty at my school, and our ideas are going to go into effect next year. The reason I'm mentioning this is because, while I didn't have many ECs, I think I did do a good deal of extra work in the activities that I was in. And I'm going to make sure to talk about that in my application.</p>
<p>I'm also going to be doing volunteer work over the summer and the fall, and will do some more ECs as a senior, assuming that won't look too much like I was just trying to get more in at the last minute.</p>
<p>In terms of the SATs, I know they're decent, but kinda on the low side, so I am retaking them in the fall. And I haven't taken SAT IIs, yet.. I'll be doing those in the fall also.</p>
<p>Here are the main colleges I want to get into:</p>
<p>Reaches:
Yale
Harvard
Dartmouth
UPenn
Amherst</p>
<p>Matches:
Berkeley
Bowdoin
Cornell
Tufts</p>
<p>Safety:
Boston College</p>
<p>What do you think?</p>
