<p>um....i really hate to say this but....too many ec's? unless your totally committed to all of them, im distracted by the number of them. however i would say that your ecs and academics are strong enough to qualify you for the ivies. i dont know too much info about the others...</p>
<p>In all seriousnes, I think you have great chances at any school. At Penn, Williams and Amherst... you're chances are good, although it's up in the air for all three of those. The same <em>may</em> be true of Georgetown.</p>
<p>Although you're looking pretty good at all the rest. You're stats are superb.</p>
<p>Penn- slight reach
Cornell- match/slight reach
GTown- as close to a safe match as gtown could ever be
Amherst- reach
Williams- reach
BC- safety
Colgate- even more of a safety than BC
Bing- super super safety</p>
<p>If I were an admissions person the only thing that would bother me is the gap between your SATs and your Subject Test scores. You look like you are not absorbing stuff to your ability level.
I think I would come to the conclusion that you are over-invested in a variety of activities rather than think you are a slacker. Of course that interpretation would work in your favor. But is the intellectual passion there?
Regardless, I think you'll get into at least one of your top choices. And you can only go to one!</p>
<p>Yes, I think my SAT IIs are one of the weaker parts of my app... Thankfully all my schools except Georgetown look at the two highest, which average to a 715 (probably slightly below average for my choices).</p>
<p>Much of the reason for the large gap between my SAT I and SAT II scores is because my school doesn't offer AP/Honors classes... Everyone takes the same, standard classes, which aren't of an AP level, so many subject tests are above the level of what I cover... Even with Biology, I got a 690 and that was mainly through self-study. Hopefully the SAT IIs aren't weighted as much as the SAT I (and I don't think they are?).</p>
<p>And as for passion among my ECs... There definitely is, whether you can see it or not. I think a love for math can be seen, through my activities/awards/test scores/grades (math is always my highest). I also love writing, which many think is weird combo (math & writing). I'm also an art freak, an have tons of books of my artwork at home and I previously took a Studio Art class... This wasn't hilighted in my app, but thankfully I was able to elaborate on it during interviews. I would also like to pursue anthropology, which I spoke all about in my personal essay.</p>
