<p>kandy314, i disagree. Having an 800 total on your SAT automatically crosses nearly all of the nation's first tier schools, and many of the second tier schools (unless, of course, there are extenuating circumstances i.e. olympic athlete) off of your college list, even if you have above average extra-curricular activities. Having minimal extra-curricular activies, but having achieved a 1580 SAT score and being ranked #1 in your high school class (and i am assuming good recs, essays, etc), only hinders your chances at the top 25 schools.</p>
<p>And yeah, i think you can get a full ride UM. You probably do have some extra-curricular activities that you could list on your app...do you play an instrument? involved in church / temple...? play intermural sports? have you done science fairs? I'm sure you could think of something.</p>
