<p>not sure what all your gpa stuff is - never heard of that before - SATs are right in the range - you have a lot of extracurriculars - I would say you are on a good path - I don’t think there is a major advantage of going EA - only the best of the best get accepted - and then the bottom gets thrown out - if you are confident that you have a complete application, then you can go ahead - but if you think you can better you application then you should wait - if your application is as best as it can be and you get rejected EA, then you would get rejected RD … the only thing is if you could have improved your application in the next couple of months, then it was not worth it … i would advise you to focus on your extra curricular activities - having a lot is good, but you need to show that you have a passion and therefore that you have a major major accomplishment in an area. </p>

<p>For instance in high school i was on a number of clubs and activities, but I basically took over my high school swim team in terms of media - i created a website for the club, facebook groups, etc - i took over all the administrative duties and let the coach coach - yes i had a lot of various things that i did (art program, math team, good grades, sats, number of awards) but what i did with swimming was a passion - that is critical.</p>
