<p>What would you be studying at Cooper Union? If science, you’re going to have to get your Chem SAT II up, and maybe take another science. This school has a lower acceptance rate than many Ivies. </p>
<p>Oh and everything else is perfect, except for your EC’s. Like you’ve done A LOT, and definitely show that you’re a leader, but your EC’s don’t have much of a common thread. I have the same problem. You’re like all over the place, and the adcoms might think that you’re padding your resume (but since I’m a senior, and not an adcom, I could be totally wrong. I’m just going by what I have heard other people say on this site.) Other than that though you’re definitely fine.</p>
<p>lol… CRAPP.
I thought of german club to study european histroy (taking that AP) so I was like HECK, why not join a club in EUROPE-themed. And I did.</p>
<p>So crap. I can’t pad up the Chem, it’s making me sick already just to look back at that textbook…</p>
<p>hahaha well are you taking a science this year? and you’re a junior right?</p>
<p>Well, I’m a senior this year. Currently tutoring my sister who’s a soph. So any tips will be much appreciated!</p>
<p>And yes. I’m taking two science class (Physics and Envir. Sci)</p>
<p>ahh the whole Columbia '17 thing on your profile threw me off. OKay so if you wanna do something science-oriented in college i’d probably try to either retake the Chem SAT II or maybe do a different science. You don’t have much time though. If you’re doing something in like the humanities I wouldn’t worry about it though. Good luck!</p>
<p>haha yeah. I’m texhnically suppose to use this for my lil sis (training for an ivy league). So yeah.</p>
<p>but I’m so worried!</p>

<p>CHANCE! I’ll chance you :)</p>
