<p>Honestly, when I read this, I thought geeky right away :D! I love it! I think you’d definitely fit in as the quirky type ;)! Although some may say you’re a bit shallow on extracurriculars, I think you’re doing what you love; that’s gooood. As ClassOf2015HS said, they’ll be reaches, but I think you can overcome them. I don’t know… To me, you just seem very “genuine” (no offense to others @_@).</p>

<p>A reach, definitely, but I still say go for it; you never know unless you try, right? That being said, do you have any safety schools just in case these all fall through?</p>

<p>Question, how can you be part of 10+ clubs? How can you possibly arrange a decent amount of meetings a year?</p>

<p>@EnemyOfThePeople - are you a US Citizen/Permanent Resident, or will you be an international applicant?</p>

<p>yeah, theres only 5 days in a week, so unless you wake up at 6 oclock to play SSB before school and then Lol after school, how do you do that many stuff in school?</p>
