<p>Okay, I have a couple questions first of all, I misread the deadling for the arts supplement and sent it in this week. Will that count against me or cause me to be unable to apply EE? </p>

<p>Also, was the finaid deadline today?</p>

<p>Okay, now chances again. Any tips on how to improve them (before Feb!) would be appreciated!
gpa: 3.4
SATI: 1340
SAT II: 780/680/640
ECs: STRONG, my interviewer was amazed at them for some reason.
Lots of music stuff, orchestras, chamber music, solo, teaching, performing, volunteer, etc. Averages 120/25 hrs/week
Model UN (officer)
French Club (VP)
political involvement/volunteer
literary arts magazine </p>

<p>I am fluent in French and have studied German, Spanish, Japanese and Mandarin. I've also lived on 3 continents, does that count for anything?</p>

<p>My recs should be good, maybe even excellent (since I haven't seen them I have no idea) and my essay was considered extremely strong. My interview went very, very well (though I must admit that I was baffled as to why she liked me so much).</p>

<p>So, advice? Tips? Flat out help? Oh, and answers to the first questions are appreciated! </p>

<p>Wellesley is choice #1, of course! I can hardly wait for February.</p>

<p>Arrrg so many chances threads here. How do you think anyone would know? Let's put it in perspective: My dd has 3.75uw/4.0w, 1490 SATI, higher SATII's, very competitive HS, 6 AP's extremely strong EC's (science research) and leadership, some of the best rec's from her school, and she considers Wellesley a long shot/strong possible.</p>

<p>You should be happy that your interviewer was so impressed with you and take it as a signal that you are a great candidate. I think your facility with language is extremely important and I hope you wrote about it. Gifted musical students are always a plus.</p>

<p>What tips do you need? One I can think of is to be more specific in your EC's--they are good but sound a bit generic. Be sure to give a power packed one sentence line explaining your involvement.</p>
