How will my peers in my school/class affect my chances at colleges?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I unfortunately go to a competitive public school, and one of my friends in the same grade got a 2400 on the SAT and PSAT. She's officers in several clubs and stuff too. She's Pakistanian.
There are also a couple of other Korean/Chinese guys in my grade who have pretty high SAT scores and decent ECs in speech and debate, etc.
How will these people affect my chances getting into colleges especially if they apply to the same schools (ie. Northwestern, Emory)??</p>

<p>Sooo....I'm bit of an underdog compared to them. :(
I'm a Chinese female with a 2070 SAT(first time and working to improve to 2200+), clarinet for 6 years (take private lessons), leadership positions in marching band, philharmonic, and a few clubs
My rank is near the bottom of the top 10 in a class of 350ish (But said Pakistanian is number 1 and Chinese dude is number 3)
I'm taking a hard course load like many other people (4 APs).
I do have a few weird hobbies like learning k-pop dances and I'm talented in singing if that helps at all!
What is going to set me apart from these people? I hate how we have to compete against each other but that's just the way it is.......</p>

<p>We are all HS Juniors :P</p>

<p>They won’t affect you… If anything they’ll affect you positively. It’ll show that the school you go to produces lots of scholarly students. That being said you’re applying to the same schools as the person with 2400 sats?</p>

<p>Well I haven’t decided yet but I’m definitely applying to Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern, and Emory. The girl with 2400 SATs is probably applying to Duke, Harvard, but alsoo colleges like Emory just in case she doesn’t get accepted to Duke(her dream college), which is what worrries me. Thanks for replying!</p>
