<p>You’re really only in three different clubs? I hate to be typical college confidential, but, your ECs seem sort of weak. You have the brains, maybe SAT 1s that are a touch low for some of those schools, the subject tests are great and so is your gpa and your academic record. I just feel like your ECs are lacking and that could be why you would have a tough time getting into some of your schools. I would say you would more than likely get into Fordham, BU, and Villanova. Tufts, Hamilton, and BC are definitely reaches for you, and Colgate and Notre Dame seem like lower reaches or higher matches, but certainly not guarantees. I’m sorry to be so harsh. The ECs you have seem solid, it just seems like there aren’t many, or maybe I’m just prematurely judging you and you have many more and whatnot. Either way I wish you luck! I’m hoping for the best for you!</p>

<p>Chance back?</p>

<p>Thanks for taking the time to respond! I posted this mainly with my academic credentials in question. I probably should have elaborated more on my ECs as I did on my actual application because looking over what I wrote, I agree that it appears weaker than it really is. But all in all, I greatly appreciate your honesty and I’d be happy to chance you back.</p>
