<p>i guess your chances would depend on which schools you are applying to, wouldn't they? you're probably a great pick for the UCs, but what if you're going ivy?
your volunteer hours are great--but are they focused?
i think your greatest strength is your passion for theatre--this'll show how dedicated you can be.
also-are you taking the SAT IIs? have you considered more APs? You might not be able to fit them into your schedule, but they would probably make you look even better. : )</p>

<p>keep in mind that i'm not trying to critique or anything. i'm actually in the same spot you are --so i've heard all this stuff from admissions officers and guidance counselors. the general consensus has been "you'll be fine."</p>

<p>Just concentrate on doing your very best in school. You have plenty of time. There is NO need to worry now.</p>
