<p>Good. Nice commitment to the ec's (almost all 4 years). Except there are no artsy things and no awards in sports. I think that is okay (but not what i did). Your chances look good. :)</p>
<p>Aite, thanks for your comments..Um well as you can see on that profile above, I have a strong record in math and science..especially math and engineering so i guess i have a higher chance of getting in engeering college...but I really want to study biology/premed so I am hoping to get in human ecology department..do you think i should apply to human ecology or engeering? i was told that human EC accepts only 20% from out of state schools..and my science fair award was in engineering...my writing score's not that high...and i live in kentucky so...can anyone gimme some feedback? well thx for your time.</p>
<p>Honestly, why did you even bother, you would most likely be in ED, and RD your chances are still up there, did you really need to post this? With that said (it was a complement by the way), good luck.</p>
<p>don't go by where your best chance is, go by what you want to study, if you want to study blah, but don't think you get into cornell for blah, find another top college to study blah, you'll probably be happier doing that</p>
