<p>Your test scores and class rank are pretty low, ec’s arent spectacular.
All of these schools are pretty big reaches except for vanderbilt and michigan</p>

<p>Really really focus on the ACT. Get that to the middle 50% range of those schools. SAT and current ACT is very low for the ivy leagues, considering you have no hooks.</p>

<p>Your EC’s are also very spread out; A laundry list. If you noticed, you stopped playing 3 of the sports; I’m assuming because you want to focus more on school?</p>

<p>Colleges love to see commitment. 3 or 4 years is the way to go. And by not continuing those EC’s in junior or senior year, colleges might look down on that.
You also have no leadership positions, I hope you win the NHS one though.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Ivy Leagues: Reaches, mid to high.
Others, I’m not sure, but I’m going to agree with Extemp.</p>
