I Already Chanced Myself, Can People Just Check Them???

<p>Alright I sort of already chanced myself, but I was hopeing people could tell me if I was either to generous or to hard on myself, thanks.</p>

<p>I'm asian, from RI, first generation. My parents came to the USA about 19 years ago, I was born 3 years later here in the USA. My older brother went to SUNY Stony Brook, and then Columbia for his MBA.</p>

<p>Just finished 11th grade with GPA unweighted at 89.583. Ranked 220/713 (30.8%). I'm trying to get under 25%, but I don't think that will happen. I take mostly Honors class, for example this year I took Math B H, Chemistry H, and also APUSH. Mid 80's for most of them. </p>

<p>I also run XC in the fall, indoor track in the winter and outdoor track in the spring. Started in 9th grade and have been doing it ever since. </p>

<p>Only bad thing is that I don't really have any other EC, and no volunteer work. However I'm looking to do some VW this summer (would that help or would colleges be like this kid only did it to say he did some?)</p>

<p>I'm probably going to run in college too. Whether it be with a scholorship or walk-on (which I think I can do for some of the more athletic colleges).</p>

<p>My SAT scores are terrible. I was 1560 in May, but I jumped 110 points to 1670 for June.</p>

<p>I wanted to major in business/marketing, also maybe like exersice science/nutrition.</p>

<p><em>Also a side question. For the colleges listed below, are SAT IIs important? Should I consider taking SAT II in October for these colleges?</em></p>

<p>Reach:
Babson College
Bentley University
Northeastern University (High reach)
University of Florida (High reach)</p>

<p>Match:
Florida State University
Michigan State University
Pepperdine University (Low-match)
Providence College (Low-match)
University of Massachusetts (Low-match)
Quinnipiac University (Low-matchh)</p>

<p>Safety:
Arizona State University
SUNY Cortland</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>hey againn lol
your grades in weighted classes will definitely look good, and your gpa is pretty good too.
and even though you don’t have volunteering, i’m sure it’s not hard to realize that you’re extremely busy with xc and track…though i don’t know how colleges look at that. i think running for college would definitely give you a goood chance! & as for sat ii’s…i don’t think most of the colleges on your list REQUIRE them. the reaches may like to see them, but not necessary. (or so i think).</p>

<p>yeah I am really not sure about the colleges your looking at, but i am a fellow runner. you need to have pretty good stats (running wise) to get recruited into a program. otherwise you can walk on, but that wont help you with admission into schools. i know quinnipiac has a quality running program, but i am unsure about the others schools. try and contact coaches if your good enough to get recruited.</p>
