<p>Essays/Recs:
My teacher recs I would expect to be stellar
New guidance counselor who doesn't know me
Basketball coach rec will also be really good
Youth group advisor rec should be outstanding
Hopefully my essays will be good, but I don't think they'll be great</p>

<p>I would really work on making your essays stand out. Unless you get an interview, they’re really the only things distinguishing you from a list of scores.</p>

<p>SAT scores look good.
Your non-athletic EC’S are meh. I don’t see any definitive passion in them.</p>

<p>Academically, you look great!! I disagree with the person above me; with the youth group president thing, I think there definitely is something to it! Just make it seem like you are passionate about it somehow and everything else you did that was supplementary is fine. Although there doesn’t seem to be much attachment, you still dedicated a lot of time into one thing and still found time to pursue other interests (or you can spin it like that or however you see fit). Anyway, good luck with your application, you’ll do great!!</p>
