<p>B.U.M.P- No one has any opinion/advice?</p>

<p>Could you run at any of those schools? If so, then definately great chances.</p>

<p>EC's are pretty "weak," minus running, because none of them really set you apart. You know what I mean? I think this means you've got to rely more on your academics, which look great, giving you a chance everywhere. Really will just depend what the school is looking for and if you fit the mold. I'm sure you'll see acceptances from most of those schools.</p>

<p>I doubt it, the best 800m I can run is like ~2:12. Any kind of E.C.s I could do to improve myself?</p>

5

<p>Summer internship? Student government? Um, I'm not really sure what else because you can't just pick something for 12th grade (minus internship, student government, and those types of activities), as it looks really bad, like you're doing it for college.</p>

<p>Do you have any community service? You have to look at it from the point of view of what you can bring to a college campus that is unique, and you have the academics, but what else (I do think you academics are probably gonna get you in to most schools, but in case...)?</p>

<p>Do something this summer. Anything.</p>

<p>Well, my team has a daily running program I did last year, and plan to do this year. I applied to TASP and I might try for promys, but I don't know. I hate to say it, but I also do Band Camp. Does that count?! ;)</p>

<p>Any more advice?</p>

<p>I say MIT and Caltech might be reaches, but the others you have a good shot. It's obvious that you're very into running, so I would definitely highlight that in the essays. Good luck!</p>

<p>Cool, thanks. I plan to; I used it in one of my TASP essays, so can off of that.</p>

<p>Any other opinions or advice?</p>
