<p>Not a lot of EC's, but you show dedication to the ones you have. In fact, I don't think having about 20 EC's looks good. </p>

<p>My guess </p>

<p>Pomona No idea
Duke Accepted
Dartmouth Rejected (saw lots of defs given to crazy people)
Williams No idea
Amherst Rejected
Emory No idea
Rice Accepted (Better not take my spot!! lol)
Northwestern Accepted</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for your time. I would sure love to get into Duke and Northwestern although I know it would be difficult. </p>

<p>More people would be great.</p>

<p>Bowdoin, Holy Cross, Colgate. Holy Cross has brand new baseball park and nice location-1 hour from Boston.</p>

<p>Badandy, You've done a good job in picking colleges with strong sports personalities. What the coaches say will make a big difference in your chances. Since you don't say I assume you have not been recruited. and that if you continue to swim or play you will do so as a walk on or in a club capacity.</p>

<p>There's nothing in your profile that would keep you out of any school on your list. Dartmouth, Amherst, Williams are very selective reaches, Duke and Pomona are less selective reaches and the others are varying degrees of reachy matches to middle matches.</p>

<p>I think you could really use a solid, sleep at night safety. Think about adding Hamilton, Bucknell, Kenyon, Furman, maybe your state university if you're interested in it.</p>

<p>I have some safety schools, I just didn't list them. Thanks for noticing :)</p>

<p>No, I will not be recruited, but I hope to play on a club team. I would just be ecstatic if I got into Duke, Amherst, Williams, Emory. Thanks everyone</p>
