<p>Haha, guess I'm the only one who was willing to read your thread. I think that your scores are amazing. I dont think you would have a problem getting into those schools.</p>

<p>Chance me?</p>

<p>I think you have made a good list for yourself. You have a good mix of reaches/matches/safeties, and I think you have a good shot at all the schools on your list.</p>

<p>bump?? please</p>

<p>if you want college suggestions.....what are you looking for in a college? also, don't assume any ivy to be a match (cornell), esp w/ rank outside of top 5</p>

11

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance getting in to the colleges you listed especially if your APs turn out well :D nice test scores btw~</p>

12

<p>Karl, I don't make naive or conceited assumptions. I looked at Cornell's stats and compared them to mine, and judged that it is a high match for me. I am in no way guaranteeing that I will get into Cornell or anything.</p>

<p>Besides, rank is arbitrary. At my old school, I would have been top few students out of 500, but now I might only be top 10-15 out of 130 (which is fine with me, I am just illustrating my point).</p>

13

<p>Thanks for your time kaotic</p>

14

<p>I think that everything you listed is good, especially the academics portion of your statistics. However, I would recommend leadership positions. Colleges don't want to see that you are in multiple clubs, they would rather you are in a few clubs, but are very dedicated to them. </p>

<p>can u answer my post about biology ecs? thanks</p>

<p>THanks for the advice hereicome. I would say that I am not in clubs just for the sake of being in them. I only choose the clubs I love or am genuinely interested in and I am active in all of them. I am a Relay for Life leader, but nothing else since the leadership positions tend to be popularity contests.</p>

<p>I don't even know what biology ecs is, sorry!</p>
