<p>I see you are participant in a Jewish youth group. Assuming you are Jewish, make sure they know that. Jews are actually one of the greatest minorities at Elon, even more than most other ethnicities. Do well on the SAT II's, especially Math 2 and whatever you may be considering majoring in. I took Math 2 and the Chem SAT II's, did well, and was offered to start in the advanced Chem class despite not ever taking AP Chem. They definitely look at that kind of information even though they aren't required. As an admissions counselor, I would like seeing that your grades have been improving every year. However, this may make you a candidate for the wait list as they see if your improvement continues through your senior year. Taking a heavy course load next year would definitely help. If you think you can improve your verbal or writing scores to closer to a 700 mark, it's worth a try.</p>
<p>hey grantb, thanks for your input, its one of the most helpful responses ive gotten. I am going to make it known that i am apart of the jewish community. For my courseload next year, im taking AP's (3) one honors and one regular (spanish).</p>
