<p>Hello all. So I'm looking to see if i can get into colleges such as Harvard, Princeton, etc.
I'll give you guys a breakdown of my high school career so far and a little about myself at the end.

Freshman Year
Classes:
Honors Algebra II
Honors World History
Honors Spanish I

<p>About Me:
So I'm guess i'm an ok student as you can see, not the best. I plan to take the sat and score 1900+. I have taken numerous of them before. Anyway, i am quite musical and i devote a lot of my time into it. I write songs and i'm hoping to become famous one day lol. Also i plan to get into the top lightweight rowers in the country to help with the recruiting process. I am involved with activities all around school, i help out with all the school events and such, and i'm on very good terms with the school president who is willing to write a recommendation for me.</p>

<p>So what do you guys think? Do i have a slim chance at going to ivy league schools or no? IF you guys don't think i should apply there can you give me a better idea of where i should be applying?</p>

<p>Very very very slim chances. Your Ecs are pretty weak compared to a lot of people and you have zero leadership as of now. Maybe if you score 2250-2300+ you’ll have a small chance, but if you only score around a 1900, your chances are very near 0.</p>

<p>Then again, if you’re good enough to be recruited, then that’s a whole different story.</p>

<p>Well i guess the reason for the weak ECs and the zero leadership is because of all my piano activities and crew. I spend nearly most of my free time for those activities. For piano everyone in my school knows i’m a pianist. I play for all the school events, concerts, choirs, etc. I’m basically the school’s musical program lol. Also for crew i am constantly lifting and working out for it. My time for 2ks is atm 7 min which is ok but by senior year i should be high in the rankings for lightweights since i still have around 20+ pounds to gain…</p>

<p>Btw there seems to be no real “leadership” roles in my school… if you mean by student body pres or national honor society pres, you have to be a senior to get those roles. Can you elaborate on the zero leadership thing as in examples of good leadership roles?</p>
