<p>I think my essays will be really strong, and I have a couple teachers in mind that will probably right good recs for me</p>

<p>Another thing is that I have a huge grade trend because I just started doing my homework and stuff this year. Is this going to end up hurting me a lot, not caring about school early on has been one of my biggest regrets</p>

<p>I think you've got as good a chance as everyone else. If you can improve on your ECs or make 1 or 2 of them stand out a little more, then go for it :)</p>

3

<p>Your race will also help you. I think that if you improve your EC's you have a good shot.</p>

4

<p>What can I do to improve my ECs?
I think im gonna run for officer positions of Computer Science Club and Mu Alpha Theta, and im Vice President of Junior Achievement this year. What can I do to make them stand out?</p>

5

<p>You need to improve your GPA. I would say you have a decent chance if you can pull it up to a 3.7UW</p>

6

<p>tennischick035, do you have a particular passion for a sport or leadership position? Maybe you could start a club at school on something that interests you.</p>

<p>If there's anything that you're interested in and passionate about then go for it. You might discover something new about yourself in doing this.</p>

7

<p>I'm going to start the AMC at my school next year(not sure this matters), and for an EC could I do something computer-science related at a community college this summer?</p>
