<p>Im confused – you say that you have up to 4 years in certain extra curricular suggesting that you are a senior. If this is so, why are you asking for chances as you have already applied? Unless you are planning to take a gap year. The line about FDR is funny though :stuck_out_tongue: :p</p>

<p>I would attempt to jack up your scores, which is very possible for someone of your qualifications. Your extracurriculars are phenomenal, as are your grades. You’re one of the strongest applicants I’ve seen. The most impressive things here are probably how much leadership you have - you seem to be anchoring your school in multiple ways.</p>

<p>I’d say you can nail all the schools on your list, and other than Stanford everything’s a mid reach at worst.</p>

<p>Please chance back (I’m not nearly as all-around awesome as you :slight_smile: )

<p>Hey sorry for the confusion, my extra currics that are 4 years are assumed that nothing changes for my senior year, however many things like student body president and football captaincy were decided this month. Thanks for the chances, will chance back after I find where in the world carmen San Diego is</p>
