<p>By “Penn” I am assuming you mean UPenn… Anyway, you definitely have the stats for these schools, but that does not guarantee admission. People with perfect stats apply all the time and still do not get in. With that being said, all of the schools on here are pretty competitive. Which ones do you consider your safeties? I mean it seems you are really smart and all, but I would not consider Colgate and Colorado College absolute safeties. They are probably more like target/safeties.</p>

<p>Do any of these schools want to recruit you for tennis?</p>

<p>Thanks you Beatles!
Are their any EC’s I should have developed or how could I potentially increase my chances?</p>

<p>I play #1 singles at my school, but I don’t think I am too near the college level. My safeties include University of Colorado and Embry Riddle.</p>

<p>Oh okay. Phew! Then I think you are okay with your college list. Anyway, in regards to your ECs I think your ECs give you the best chance of admission the way they are. It seems you devoted yourself to only a few clubs. And it also seems like you are passionate about chemistry and biology. Your clubs, community service and hobbies make you seem well rounded, but the focus on bio and chemistry should really help with your intended major. In my opinion, you have mastered the perfect blend of extracurricular activities. </p>

<p>Good Job! I wish you the best of luck with your applications.</p>
