<p>you know that your scores are obviously near flawless, but unless you are being recruited for hockey, they will not compensate for rather meager extracurriculars</p>

<p>So you’re saying that even with flawless marks/scores, a national championship in an engineering competition plus obvious dedication and skill at a sport aren’t enough even for consideration? Just asking for your opinion because it’s possible the engineering thing was missed. </p>

<p>If not, I’d still appreciate any other advice, from you or from anyone.
Thank you.</p>

<p>ummm, can I just say AMAZING stats. I think all of them are either matches or safeties, except harvard MIT and the like, since they are reaches for literally everyone. But if I was on the admissions board for any of those colleges, I would accept you in a heart beat.</p>
