<p>Extracurriculars:
JV/Varsity Cross Country Team (10-12)
JV/Varsity Track Team(10-12) (Both are top in state)
Played for Club Soccer Team outside of school (9-12)
Science Olympiad (9-12)

Earned Ambassador Torch Award for BPA.
National AP Scholar
Finalist in Ayn Rand Foundation Anthem Essay Contest
Salutatorian
Cross Country and Track TEAM finished top 3 in state (not me personally, worth mentioning?)</p>

<p>Volunteering:
Totaled up around 100+ hours, both through Interact and working at Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital. Also volunteered at the soccer club I play at as well as around my town with various events.</p>

<p>Essays and Recommendations will both probably be pretty good, but I doubt they will blow away the readers.</p>

<p>I feel my scores and stats are strong, but will my lack of really amazing volunteering/essays/EC's hurt my chances? </p>

<p>Thanks a lot everyone!!</p>

<p>Average application to top schools.
No one cares about a non-officer NHS membership.
Scioly without awards? Lol.
Looks like you lack any significant awards.
You have a good shot at non-ivy colleges. Unless your essay is mindblowing.</p>

<p>Then again, lots of admissions are BS lol. Solid app though.</p>

<p>first of all let me give a little shout out for interact club <3</p>

<p>seriously though, you’re numbers are very good and working on them alone you are a very good match for all of the schools on your list (I mean 2/1100 hot damn). However, your ECs are not mind blowing. I feel like your brief summary of them here probably doesnt do them much justice though. make sure that you really get through on your applications the meaning behind all of your ECs and show that you have a true commitment to at least some of them. All that said:</p>

<p>University of Chicago-match
Rice-Match (esp. with the legacy)
Duke-Match
Northwestern-Low Reach
Columbia-Reach
Stanford-high Reach
Princeton-VERY high Reach (isn’t it for all of us)
Penn (Wharton)- reach
U of Michigan- low match </p>
