<p>Oh yeah. And I was Sports editor of yearbook this year, going to be assistant editor next year.
...and SGA Rep. for senior class.</p>

<p>-sorry, it's late, i can't remember everything lol</p>

<p>UNC and UVa are probable, but only if you raise your SATs to at least 2150 (2200 is more comfortable). I can really only speak to those schools on your list... It'll depend on if you can write an essay that proves you're unique and valuable to the University.</p>

<p>thanks for your input. yeah, i'm trying to raise my scores. just took an ACT practice test w/o any studying, I think i have a good chance of getting 33ish on the ACT</p>

<p>Most of your 'maybes' are good - your most likey in. Princeton, Standford - not so sure. Since your in sports, are you really good? If so, Standford - definite yes (they love their athletes). Only saying it might be tough to get in because they admit very few students (Even excellent students, like you). You should take your SATs over again. That would help a lot because your scores are not so great (if you want to get into Ivies) Other than that, it's very probable that you could get in. All the luck!</p>

<p>I'm really not amazing at running (what i'm doing now) but I was a great fencer before I had to quit</p>

<p>Yeah, i'm def. studying and retaking SAT's. I have both of the 'SAT 2400' books and the blue book.
I plan on also getting some ACT books and taking the ACT (got like a 32 on practice test w/o any studying = :) )</p>

<p>The latest month almost every school suggests you take SAT/ACT in is December (sr. yr.) right??</p>

<p>thanks mucho for the input</p>

<p>Also,</p>

<p>do you guys think i'm aiming for too many high-end/reachish schools? or not?</p>

<p>I kind of get the feeling that I need to diversify the list a little bit with some schools that aren't as amazing as these.</p>
