<p>Your scores and rank are a wee bit low, but still definitely in range. But you clearly show a passion for learning languages, which is definitely good. It could come down to your level involvement in extracurriculars, which, from what you put, I can’t tell how much you do for them. It seems like you aren’t that involved, but those clubs could be huge commitments for you.</p>

<p>well my biggest commitments are NHS and JSA, those are very time-demanding and for JSA i travel to regional conventions and debates (though not fall state, etc) around the NYC area. My other significant ECs are multicultural group and foreign language society, as they deal with my interest in language & culture as i tutor students in spanish and french.</p>

<p>in my app, though, i mentioned study abroad as my most formative experience with these as close seconds. There are several other volunteering activities and sports (varsity track & field) that i mentioned on my app as well.</p>
