<p>Because of your academics, those are all high matches for you. Unfortunately, I can’t see any high school ECs besides volunteering and honor society affiliation (which has little merit unless you hold a leadership position). Colleges like to see passion in non-academic areas, no matter how seemingly boring. What do you do that excites you outside of school?</p>

<p>Well, the baseball would have to be my favorite thing to do. I feel like I haven’t really done anything out of the ordinary besides that, but my friends at school think that it’s really cool that I’m a coach. Besides that, I like to bowl, play golf, watch movies, swim, and other recreational activities, but they’re all just for fun. I don’t excel in them or anything. I just do them to have fun, like any other kid.</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance at Emory and that UM will definitely be an easy acceptance for you. I don’t know enough about the Vanderbilt or W&M to say but your statistics are great!!!</p>
