<p>I'm not one of those people who have a tremendous passion in one area of study, and who has their life goals all planned out. My interests have always been really diverse, and I don't know if that's going to hurt me in this whole process because I can't be nicely packaged into a "hook" category. I know my ECs are a little weak for some of these schools as well. Oh yes. It would be awesome if you guys could help me cut down my list of schools, because I'm honestly too much of a lazy bum to do so many applications. Be brutally honest =D</p>

<p>Looks like you have as solid a shot as anyone, but what I don't understand is how you qualified for the AIME and received a 670 on your Math SAT I. I would reccomend getting your SAT math score up, seeing most of the students they take have 700+ in the math section of the SAT I.</p>

<p>I also don't understand how did you get 670 on math... But with 800 on Math IIC i doubt it will hurt you, even if you don't retake.</p>

<p>You have a shot at any of the schools you've listed (just don't take them for granted).</p>

<p>Keep in mind that only the October sitting will report early enough for Stanford SCEA..so take what's most pertinent (probably the SAT I for the math).</p>
