<p>Great scores, though the ECs seem a little generic (save for music). A supplement would probably help, since it does seem like you’re really good from all those awards. Essays and recs will probably be a key factor. The Ivies are a reach for ANYONE, but you seem to have as decent a shot as anyone. All of the others are at best matches and at worst low reaches.</p>
<p>thanks, guys!</p>
<p>bumppppppp</p>
<p>Is USNCO semifinalist something new? They used to only do Honors or High Honors, something like that.</p>
<p>Back in the day stupid soflacs didn’t even tell us until I stalked my own name in a newsletter.</p>
<p>Lollerpants: Still waiting to hear if I got Honors or High Honors. Semifinalist status means top 1000 or so in the nation.</p>
<p>Wow, I know I got high honors or something, but they didn’t even bother to notify me of what semifinalist was a few years ago.</p>
<p>Dude, holy ****. All-state orchestra as a 9th grader? (Even though I know that there’s the 9/10 and 11/12 for Florida, that’s still amazing.) Superiors on grade sevens at state as a sophomore and junior? On two different instruments? You, my friend, are talented. Where do you go to school? Are you going to do something involving music in college?</p>
<p>bumppppp 10 char</p>
<p>what if the teacher who nominates me is not from that specific college?</p>
<p>belly: they do not have to be as long as your name is submitted to the alumni association</p>
