<p>bump...anyone? i'd appreciate any honest opinions...</p>

3

<p>your a strong candi but there is nothing distinctively special about you but if u raise your sat above 2200+ then you will be much more competitive at top 25 schools. Do you have any leadership position?</p>

4

<p>not really...but i'm one of the leaders in my youth group and I plan on taking leadership positions in 1 or 2 clubs next year...would the leadership positions be especially important for your essay or something?</p>

5

<p>no..all good colleges want leaders...for some reason</p>

6

<p>Might add Colgate and Holy Cross both good schools with very strong alumni networks.</p>

7

<p>thanks....could anyone possibly rate my chances to colleges?</p>

8

<p>I would say that you probably have a pretty good chance ED at Cornell. Your ecs seem a little unfocused. Is there any one that you really love and excel at? If so I would try to focus on that in an essay or try to get a counselor or teacher to talk about it in a rec.</p>

9

<p>Most of the colleges look well within your range.</p>

10

<p>Cornell ED is a very good choice for you if you like the school because Cornell RD would be a slight reach for you. Also in the zone for Tufts and BC, but add another safety.</p>

<p>thanks everyone for the helpful advice! anything else?</p>
