<p>Very nice set of ECs.
It shows a great degree of commitment to your interests, namely language and music.</p>

<p>Your SAT Score seems good. </p>

<p>What happened with the GPA? That will hurt a bit.</p>

<p>My advise would be to keep participating in activities that interest you, and try and pull up that GPA...take a few HLs too.</p>

<p>What about SAT-IIs?</p>

<p>I presume, u want to major in a Literature related major, in which case, I think your choice of ED college, Yale, is good too.</p>

<p>Hey you still have time to boost your GPA. I don't know how you crazies manage time to get all this stuff done. You'll get in.</p>
