<p>Bump it up…</p>

<p>You should be fine for Williams dude, your scores are all excellent and you have great ECs.</p>

4

<p>I agree with JamesB… I got into Williams early write with very similar stats and ecs! Good luck!</p>

<p>Aw man, for a second I was getting my hopes up with that NFL comment that you were the son or daughter of some kind of rich football team owner or something. Oh well. (however, if anyone out there has good connections to someone who owns a football team, giving the Admissions office about 20 season passes will help your odds, unless you are the son or daughter of Bill Ford)</p>

<p>Anyways, I can guarantee you right now that you should have no problem getting into BW, Pitt, Union, or Carthage. I also think you should easily be able to get into Williams, as well, but there is only one problem I see: a lack of focus on math and sciences. Your background is much more business or political science-ish. That might cause problems for MIT or the Ivies.</p>

<p>^^^haha…my only NFL connections are my family’s seat license at Heinz Field for the steelers</p>

<p>I don’t know much about any of those schools, but your stats seem very strong all around. Good luck!</p>
