<p>Should I even bother applying?</p>

2

<p>where are you applying to</p>

3

<p>Yes, you should bother to apply. The only way you'll find out if you are admissible is if you apply in the first place!</p>

4

<p>looks like your stats are OK but can you communicate great EC's? Model UN might be a good one to emphasize if you are interested in a major related to that.</p>

5

<p>not just great EC's.. but also leadership in those great EC's?</p>

6

<p>You got a 33 on the ACT, of course you will make it in.</p>

7

<p>What are you interested in majoring in?</p>

8

<p>country day, that's totally untrue. cmc rejects 2400s if they don't have good grades and ECs (especially with leadership) to back it up. OP, you have a shot. definitely apply, but don't put all your eggs into cmc. there are lots of good lacs with very different admissions standards.</p>
