<p>Your grades look excellent. SAT I will be fine. EC's look good, it sounds like you're really into service. With good essays and recs, you should be in the running, which is about all you can really ask for at most of the schools you're targetting.</p>

<p>I'm curious, how are you in NHS if you are just now a junior?</p>

3

<p>I'm not sure about the OP's situation, but in my school juniors that qualify are inducted in May into the NHS. They only have to keep their grades up senior year.</p>

<p>At our school, we get inducted in Sept/Oct. so i suppose its a bit too early to say i'm in, but i'm one of the best kids at my school, so i would be shocked if they said no?</p>

<p>Is Williams a friendly and happy school?</p>

5

<p>When I visited this summer the students that were there seemed friendly and happy, but I can't make a guarantee one way or the other until I visit during the year. FWIW, Princeton Review 2007 gives Williams a Quality of Life rating of 96. The 20th ranked Quality of Life school (Pepperdine) has a 97.</p>
