<p>For my senior year classes I plan to take AP Macro and Micro Econ, AP EnviSci, AP Stats, maybe EuroHis AP, English IV and Religion. What do you think of these?</p>

<p>Extras: 150 hours of community service with underprivileged children
2 Summers of internships with local college summer baseball league (gameday set up and operations)
Elected to Student Council and on Student Council
Founded An Irish Sports Club which promotes Irish Sports (kind of like a club sport)
Varsity Athlete- Track- Have been contacted colleges- I'm pretty good- so this is a hook
-I won a national competition for my age group Freshman year
-Also, we have practice or a race 6 days a week for the entire winter and spring, which is why I don't have a ton of other ECs
Freshman XC Captain (Elected)
Probably going to have an internship with a British Politician in Great Britain for a month in the summer to learn how their government works and all
Founded a Ping Pong Tournament for Charity Soph year and probably will continue it this year</p>

<p>What are my chances? Is there anything I can do to better them?</p>

<p>I think you look pretty solid. Does your school rank? What percentage are you in your HS class? I would just keep your grades as high as you can. It seems like Villanova is getting more and more selective…but I think you should be fine:) Good luck!!</p>

<p>Thanks. My school only gives quartiles and they only release them senior year but I’d imagine that I’m in the top one.</p>

<p>You should be fine. You have better credentials than myself, and I got into Villanova early.</p>

<p>I feel as if people just come on here to gloat about there grades. Clearly if you got virtually a A or A- on everything you should have a pretty good chance, it really doesnt take much advice to see that.</p>

<p>no I’m really not sure. My Naviance (which I really don’t like to use for a tool) has the average as a 3.9 and a 2100 and my UW is a 3.6ish right now while my weighted is about a 3.8. So it really was a tossup in my opinion.</p>
