<p>Hey guys, I am a rising senior at a pretty competitive high school in MA. Any input you can give would be really appreciated.</p>

<p>Schools I am looking to apply to:
Boston College
Duke (possibly ED)
Maryland
Michigan
North Carolina
Tulane
Vanderbilt
Virginia
Wash U
Wisconsin</p>

<p>Gender: Male
Race: White
Religion: Jewish
State: MA</p>

<p>Stats
SAT: 2110 (Superscore)
ACT: 32
GPA: 3.5 (UW)/ 5.3 (W)...weird scale
Class Rank: NA</p>

<p>ECs
Varsity Soccer (3 years) Captain
Varsity Tennis (4 years) Captain
3 time league all-star
Mock Trial (3 years) Captain
School Newspaper
Editor in Chief (12th grade)
Sports Editor (11th grade)
Referee in youth basketball program
Coach in youth soccer program
Camp counselor over the summer at an overnight camp
100+ hours of community service </p>

<p>Essays/Recs
Strong recommendations from my Journalism teacher and my Mock Trial coach who can attest to all the effort I put into those extra-curriculars
Still working on an essay, but I am leaning towards one about the camp I go to and what it means to me/how I fit in. (Any suggestions?)</p>

<p>I am hoping that my strong leadership and commitment in my core activities shines through and makes up for my lack of involvement in numerous clubs. Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>WashU (the STL one) Duke and Vandy are all reaches, and id say rather big reaches because of your GPA. UVA is a lower and more realistic reach (maybe EA there?), and I’d say you can get into the others</p>

<p>Your GPA is on the low end for the Duke/Vandy/WashU/UVA side (and BC, but your test scores should be good to make that up there). What school are you most interested in? Are you interested in FA? I’d say you have a decent shot at Vandy if you go ED, and although you show good leadership your ECs are kinda common (but still good don’t get me wrong).</p>
