<p>I suppose its blind leading the blind, but heres my inupt:</p>

<p>-GPA seems in order
-ACT needs to be retaken, so hopefully you get that 32-33
-You need to take 2 sat II's
-You haven't put your AP test scores so I cant really comment on that
-Not too much leadership (are you president or officer of any clubs?)
-Captain for soccer is nice... kinda'.
-Colleges like latin so I hear.</p>

<p>I don't know, you seem like that well rounded kid that so many of us are. To me, you dont really stand out of the background. Some of your EC's seem just thrown on there for more bulk. First, you have to really think about improving your test scores. Second, those essays better be the essays of your like (creative, witty, inventive) so that you can stick out. None of your EC's really describe your passion, so maybe think about what you want to do for the rest of your life. I'd say at this point you don't stand that great of a chance at SCEA, maybe 4%-9%, but hey, who am i to judge?</p>
