<p>ilovemehaha, you should listen to debate_addict and assume that you are definitely getting in all the ivies. why listen to criticisms?! oh, and definitely present yourself to adcoms like you did here. just include random stuff here and there. they make you look very well rounded!</p>
<p>uh chill firefox --;;</p>
<p>I'm trying to find out what I need to work more on. Don't come to my thread and give me an attitude</p>
<p>In order words, don't be such a**hole :)</p>
<p>everyone gets invited to those national youth leadership forums, those are such BS awards. all they want is your money. who's who is complete BS too.</p>
<p>your interests DO seem a bit scattered.</p>
<p>because there's nothing that makes you stand out as an excellent applicant, but you are pretty good overall. there's not much more that you can do at this point, except writing amazing essays. </p>
<p>oh yeah, btw, when I said that "chances are, you'll get into about one of your reach schools (HYPMS)", I was assuming that you'd be applying with really good essays. yeah..seriously, I think essays are what will make/break you.</p>
<p>
<p>In order words, don't be such a**hole
</p>
<p>can't handle criticisms, i see</p>
<p>but that's ok. it's only important that you love yourself. haha.</p>
<p>Thanks for the comments guys :) really helps!</p>
<p>And firefox, well dur
The name is Ilovemehaha. It's good you figured at least that part out correctly :)</p>
<p>haha nice play on words there, firefox.
lol, sorry ilovemehaha, but they do have a point, especially halepeno.
try to make yourself stand out, and write great essays that reveal somethinga bout your character and about what YOU like to do and what makes YOU a diverse student and sets you apart. the essay doesnt have to be reflected in your ECs if you can make it be like that</p>
<p>i like the research, shows your leader, i s'pose. great tests cores, so that'll get you in the running (i really dont think they're mediocre :) )</p>
<p>try to get more service hours and chop off the unneccessary ECs and some colleges. you should be in good shape after that, and good luck :]</p>
<p>biump ^^ =]</p>
<p>You do A LOT. Do you have...50 hours in a day or something? I swear, I would think so. Similarly to the other people, I'd suggest narrowing down schools--and the large amounts of ECs. They're amazing but they hide your true passions beneath the long list. Make sure that your reader can clearly see why you're in love with writing. Oh! Write an amazing essay!</p>
<p>2 passions are good. Even three. It shows that you are well-rounded. But when you try to please everyone and do anything, it makes you a list of things that might mean a lot or nothing to you. It takes away from all that you've done.</p>
