<p>oh i’m also in NHS and NTYHS (community org that participates in various volunteer projects). </p>

<p>i’m pretty sure that doesn’t help much though :P</p>

<p>You seem like you are on the right track! I’m sure you’ll be just fine at most of these schools, but HYPSM are always difficult to predict! Good luck!! :)</p>

<p>Your stats seem pretty much on par for those schools, but the problem is you never really know what the ivies are looking for…I think the best thing to do is make sure that you involve yourself in things that will differentiate you from the other applicants with similar stats.</p>

<p>thanks for all the advice everyone! :))</p>

<p>and I know colleges are looking for something that differentiates you besides your essay, but the hard part is actually getting something that does since nowadays EVERYONE is looking for something unique. </p>

<p>does anyone know anything us “common apps” could do during the summer or the school year that could “differentiate” us from others and help us stand out?</p>

<p>thanks!</p>
