<p>to be honest your chances are not that great at all. i would say less than 10%. sorry.</p>

3

<p>well those are estimates at what i will have accomplished by the time im a senior...im only a sophmore...what can i do to raise my chances</p>

4

<p>Avoid labels!!</p>

5

<p>what do you mean avoid labels</p>

6

<p>simply mentioning National Honor Society or the sort</p>

7

<p>you'll want high ranking officer positions in any of those clubs. definitely above a 2200 on the SAT and SAT II's above 750. </p>

<p>as a sophmore there is still a ton you can do. i highly recommend more than 4 AP's, that is unless your school doesn't offer more.</p>

<p>start a cool club, that always goes over well.</p>
