<p>Do I have what it takes</p>

<p>you founded a lot of clubs, etc. and did stuff but my only concern is that you have all these crazy ecs but theres no one central passion in them, and that you did it only for college...</p>

<p>my only advice is just do what you love</p>

3

<p>Those SAT scores are very impressive for 8th grade!! I'm sure you'll get in to some prestigious colleges eventually. Just dont burn out :P</p>

4

<p>You are on the right track. Try to narrow down your EC's so that your passion really comes through.</p>

5

<p>I see . . . no passion...</p>

6

<p>I forgot to mention. My main EC is Karate : Participated in 3 state tournaments with the following awards:</p>

<ol>
<li>3rd place in Kumite (sparring)</li>
<li>2nd place in Team Kata (combintions)
3.2nd place in Individual Kata and 1st place in individual kumite</li>
</ol>

<p>Passion huh?</p>

<p>Id have to say that writing and speaking are my passions and the writing part will show a sorta culmination when I publish this book ive been working on.</p>

<p>I want to know if there are any other possibilities to channel my passion for speaking and debating .</p>

<p>You seem to have a major misconception about writing: just because you're about to finish something doesn't mean it's about to be published.</p>

8

<p>I already have a publisher in hand. I started writing about a year ago as a ghostwriter but then the guy i was writing for left and I didnt hear from him after that. I then found a publisher here in India who read some of my work and agreed to publish my latest book.</p>

9

<p>Is the book in Hindi or English? If it's the latter, you could send in a portion of it as a supplement to your application.</p>

10

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>How can I come across as passionate about speaking and debate??</p>

11

<p>USE ALLCAPS.</p>

<p>Seriously, you say you want to know if, prior to your 10th grade, you are "on the right track." I think you should fear staying on a track of any kind at that age. Work hard, but don't let prestige-in-a-diploma be your ball and chain.</p>

<p>Could someone respond to my chances thread.</p>
