<p>It would be useful to have your AP test scores and your level of involvement in your extra-curriculars.</p>

3

<p>I'd say you have a great chance. Only thing would be the rank and maybe ecs.</p>

<p>I'm taking the AP tests this year. I dind't take them all for the classes I took.</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars:
Mock Trial- 3 years, Lawyer, team leader.
School Newspaper- 2 years, Copy Editor.
National Honors Society Peer Tutoring- Weekly tutoring for 2 tuttees currently. I also am the coordinator for a segment of the tutors for tutoring specifically for standardized tests.
Band- All through middle school and 1 year highschool. Tuba 2nd chair. Also played piano 8 years.
Science Olympiad- No real captains for this one, but I'd say I'm one of them if there were.</p>

<p>You definitely have a solid chance, then. You've covered everything pretty nicely. The one concern I have is that I don't necessarily see a cohesive passion throughout your stats and such, although you probably conveyed that more on your application than you did here.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>12 AP classes?!!!</p>

<p>I didn't know you could get a 790 on SAT Math. When did you take it?</p>

<p>I think it was June.</p>

<p>Why wouldn't you be able to get 790?</p>
