<p>Welcome, mmata1089 (or should I say Mabuhay!? ;))</p>

<p>You've got great test scores. Just a couple of questions: is your GPA weighted or unweighted and how many years have you been involved in your various ECs? (Schools like to see the depth of EC involvement, and not just the breadth.)</p>

<p>You're definitely a competitive applicant.</p>
