<p>Your ECS look good. But you've left out or don't have the two most important pieces of information in the college admission process: your unweighted GPA and your SAT scores. That said, you're rank is fine considering you go to a competitive school but if your PSAT score is an accuarte prediction of your SAT score you're in trouble. Get some SAT prep, immediately.</p>

<p>work on that SAT score. the 1/8 native american thing will actually help you a lot if you can prove some sort of tribal enrollment.</p>

<p>Hey, keep up the awesome work with MUN!
Which senator are you applying with?
Summer session will be great---lots of work, but fun all the same. I was a school year Page for our lovely House in 2006. Good luck.</p>

<p>^^I'm trying to attest to beign Native American, but my mom (whose side was N.A.) has predominately all passed away, including her. This is actually a family fort named after my great (somewhere down the line) grandfathers out in Colorado, which is kind of interesting</p>

<p>^I've e-mailed both Gregg and Sununu (I'm from New Hampshire)...but I haven't heard back from them yet....</p>
