<p>What are my ED chances. I know my rank's a bit low, and not taking all the AP tests might hurt. I'm Asian and from Texas.</p>

<p>GPA - Unweighted: it depends on the scale but on the tougher one where a 90-93 isn't a 4.0 it's a 3.77
on the one where 90-100= 4.0 it's a 3.85
Class Rank: 8/118 around top 7%</p>

<p>Scores:</p>

<p>SAT I Math: 770
SAT I Critical Reading: 790
SAT I Writing: 690</p>

<p>1560/2250</p>

<p>790 USH SAT 2
710 Literature</p>

<p>I had 5 AP classes available to me freshman through junior year. I took 4 of them and took the test in 2 of them.

<p>Oh, and a 34 ACT. The ECs I was in, I really got involved in. Engineering took a large chunk of time my junior year, and jiu jitsu was 4-5 days a week my freshman and sophomore years.</p>

<p>Anyone at all?</p>

<p>Your SAT and ACT are fine. Your ECs, though like you said, is not impressive. I see that you only started during junior year, which will reflect badly on your part. (though the volunteering for 300 hours may help a little bit.) Overall, academic-wise, you’re on par, but your ECs will definitely hurt you. I would try to stand out in the essay by writing something unique about you. It’s hard to chance you since you are quite lacking in one area.</p>

<p>Here’s a big thing. I switched high schools after my freshman year ended. I’m going to be a part of my high schools first graduating class, so clubs were only officially allowed to start during my junior year. Also, I did jiu jitsu out of school for 4-5 days a week my first 2 years. I stopped junior year to develop my interests more.</p>
