<p>Your ranking, grades, and standardized test scores are low. It’s great that you’re doing a lot of different extracurricular activities but colleges want to see commitment, not how many different clubs/teams you’re in, so include only the ones you’ve been involved with the most amount of dedication.
good luck!</p>

<p>Just curious, how did you determine you were 15% Jamaican?</p>

<p>My fathers grandmother was 100% which technically makes me 12.5% jamaican, which I recently realized has no determining factor in applications unless it’s you foremost ethnicity.</p>
