<p>Thanks! Anywhere that I can improve on? Bump!</p>

<p>What are you planning to major in? If it’s something science/math related, I’d look to bring the SAT math score up. It’s not especially high for the better schools (though the CR score is a thing of beauty–much less common to see a high CR score like that). Also, the schools don’t really care where your recommenders went to school. Very impressive resume–good luck!</p>

5

<p>That’s an impressive list of ECs. I better work on mine :frowning: anyway, I agree with previous posts. See if you can raise your math score a tad it more. Other than that, you seem fine to me</p>

<p>Yeah. I’ve realized that my Math section is a little low. I’m planning to retake it for the third and final time in October.
EDIT to my gpa: 3.71 (sorry typo)
Thanks for the response. Anymore?</p>

<p>Bump! Anymore thoughts?</p>

<p>Other than that, I’m not too sure. Sometimes life is unfair…my friend got 2350 in his SAT but wasn’t accepted to Vanderbilt. He was accepted to cornell though. They are known for being a kinder Ivy League school</p>

<p>Hey you think you can check my post and see what you think about my chances?</p>

10

<p>Sure. give me a link and I’ll chance back.
Also, one more important thing that I forgot to mention. I got a C+ in one my classes (Honors Precalc) for that semester. Overall gpa for that semester was 3.5. However, the second semester, I brought it back up to an A, averaging a 4.0 the 2nd semester. How does that look?</p>

<p>shameless bump!</p>
