<p>Also, do i have any chance at financial aid? My parent's combined make 80K but I have to pay alone.</p>

<p>Are you a rising junior? You definitely have a chance of getting in, just make sure that you keep up with your ECs – don’t just drop them after a year. Try to get your service hours up to at least 100, if you can get the number higher that’s definitely better though. The biggest hole in your app seems like you don’t have much passion, that you dabble in everything, do really well, then stop. Try to find something you really love, and do something interesting/unusual with it. Finally, you will probably get a good bit of financial aid if you get in. Good Luck!</p>
