<p>hmmm well u have an awesome rank..but so so standardized test scores, AP scores, extra curics...i think u have a shot at all of them and will get into atleast one of them, maybe notre dame?...i think NU is your biggest reach too</p>

4

<p>i think you are doing okay...again maybe one...did you submit all your AP scores? They may not like the lower scores. If you have a great essay and good recommendations, you will probably get in to notre dame or maybe another. sorry about Ross PA :(</p>

<p>thanks yeah, I realize my weakness is probably test scores and ECs...and no I did not report the two AP science scores.</p>

6

<p>any more...?</p>

7

<p>bump.......</p>

8

<p>umm anyone?</p>

<p>You're stats are okay, but not exceptional for any of these schools. If you had good essays and recs, then you have a shot.</p>

10

<p>with the exception of basketball, i dont see any commitment to any ECs. that's what top colleges look for.</p>

<p>you should have sent those SAT II's in. they wouldnt have hurt your profile....better than no SAT IIs.</p>

<p>reach for all.</p>

11

<p>Reach for all. NU is extremely difficult to get into nowadays. You have a shot, but you need to write excellent essays and have good recs.</p>
