No Community Service/ Leadership

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey I'm thinking of applying to some of the best schools in the country such as stanford, mit, and princeton. But the problem is that I barely have any community service hours, and absolutely no leadership positions.</p>

<p>gpa = 4.3 weighted, 3.9 unweighted
ACT = 34 composite
Sat math 2 = 760
Sat physics = 700 (didnt learn much of the material in school)
Psat commended status (most likely)</p>

<p>Extracurrics:</p>

<p>NHS - 2 years
Varsity Soccer - 3 years
Varsity Cross country - 2 years (did soccer and cross in the same season for 2 years)
Track and Field - 3 years</p>

<p>Thats pretty much it for extracurricular activities. I know its not much, but i didnt have time for anything else. Do I still have a chance of getting accepted to some of these schools, or is there no hope for me?</p>

<p>I personally haven’t seen many statistics about these Ivy League schools you’re looking at, but the lack of positions and hours certainly can be a drawback. The sad thing is that your EC’s and academic statistics look GREAT but it looks like a toss-up to me. Either way, even if you can’t make your top schools there are plenty of other colleges out there that would happily throw money at you with the grades that you do. Well done!</p>
