<p>I have pretty similar stats to you and I am also hoping for ED 1. Don't feel bad about your test scores. I am 6/250 with a 30 ACT & lots of extracurricular leadership & sport accomplishments ( 3 sports as well). I take pretty much the hardest levels of classes at my school. They said one of the most important things was the rigor of your course load in high school so I think I have that going very well for me. Test scores, on the other hand, not so much.</p>
<p>Try not to think about this for another few weeks. This board will be ripe with threads of angst about when ED decisions will be made, if students have a chance, etc. by the first week in December. Enjoy these next few weeks - there will still be plenty of time for you to be a nervous wreck later!
BTW, believe the admissions office when they tell you decisions will be mailed on Dec. 15th and that they won't tell you on the phone before Dec. 20th or so. Phone calls to the admissions office will be answered by student workers and clerical staff who have no input in the process, so contacting them won't hurry your decision or reveal any insight as to your decision.</p>
