<p>There's quite a bit more I could list but that is the girth of my academic record. I merely want advice and what you think my chances at the colleges I previously mentioned and if you think that Boys Nation is a hook and in comparison how does merely attending Boys State compare.</p>
<p>i'm not going to be of great assistance, but i'm going to uchicago next fall and these are my less than insightful thoughts.
- if you are as good of a writer as you say you are than i would say you've got a big head up. thier uncommon essays are their bread and butter so if you can't come up with something quirky and interesting, then you've dug yourself a big hole.
- your SATs are higher than mine (though chicago doesn't emphasize those too much), but my GPA and class rank was higher.
- your extracurriculars are good enough, but i wouldn't emphasize them unless they were a big part of who you are. chicago would rather know about you than the stuff you do.</p>
<p>as for princeton, carleton, yale, and georgetown, i have no personal experience and could only guess, which is really of no use.</p>
<p>Have any passions? Your applications look a bit all over the place, although there is some hint of a stronger tendency towards golf. You might want to try and make it so that one of your Extra Curriculars stand out if you want to get into a place like Carleton. Although, if you are as good a writer as you say you are, that might come a bit naturally and will be a large help in the long run.</p>
<p>Actually I do have a considerably focused passion, that is Political Science/Social Sciences and Government, I think this can be backed up by my participation as VP for 2 years, Debate, STUCO, Boys State and Boys Nation</p>
<p>BTW, since you are junior, how do you know you are already going to Boys' Nation? I was under the impression that you can only go to Boys' State as a junior, and for us Boys' State starts in June.</p>
