<p>I can write essays pretty well, so I'm not too worried about that</p>
<p>Can someone gauge my chances of getting in please. Thanks in advance</p>
<p>My other considerations are
Princeton ED --- I know it's unlikely as hell :)
Duke, Rice, Emory, Northwestern, UCLA, UCB, UCSD, UNC, Umich, UVA, I am open to other ideas</p>
<p>Very solid chances... If you are intending to apply to Princeton ED, then that will mean you will be applying RD to Emory. It will be important to demonstrate interest to Emory's Admissions Office -- lest they think that you are merely using them as a safety/backup school and waitlist you. Did you distinguish yourself with an NFL ranking for debate? I think your EC's are good, but you don't present them well. Participation alone doesn't make you stand out in a given EC.</p>
<p>Quick note, but important if you are planning to apply to the UC's, do NOT take the SAT II - Math Level I Test ... the UC system will not accept it any longer -- take the Math Level II Test instead. Changes in the tests you take can be easily done, so don't worry about doing so. If you have any questions, check with the proctor on the test day.</p>
<p>Thanks NorCalDad</p>
<p>For debate, I was in it and worked and went to a lot of tourneys but I was never among the elite. For NFL I got a Degree in Excellence which equates to like 200-250 points.
For senior year, my focus is making the cut for the AcDec team because that would be a huge booster for me. Last year's team was 2nd at Nats, and I've been working my ass off for it so far but selections wont be announced till November.
Also, thanks for the SAT II info.</p>
<p>good chances of getting in...Do u go to east by chance?</p>
<p>nah i go to Plano Senior</p>
