<p>I believe this may be the area that I am the weakest at. Are these EC strong for the above colleges I am looking at and where would I be able to improve upon? My school doesn't offer much as for EC and football and track drains most of my time. For Track, Student Council, and Debate there are some awards that I may receive and planning on working hard for and and events that I would be apart of planning. For those interested, I am African-American with a 98.4/100 (3.9?) UW GPA. Currently rank 2/477. Haven't taken any SAT/ACT yet. School doesn't offer AP for 9th or 10th until next year where changes are occurring :/. Ill be taking 3 APs Junior and 4 Senior and self study for 2.</p>
