<p>Well i dont know what this guy ^^ is talking about. Your GPA is very solid, and given that you're going to private school id imagine they'd cut you some slack (i go to an elite private school where last year 2 kids who werent in the top HALF of their class got into harvard. That means schools look at how good your high school was). If anything, i think you ought to shoot higher than where you are given your ECs. I'd be proud of what you've done, and your GPA and SAT could take you lots of interesting places. That being said, admissions are so random that i wouldnt be surprised if you got rejected from some places. LACs are more swaded by ECs and Essays, so you maybe shouldve focused on them. Oh well. Keep up the good work and have fun in college.</p>
