<p>No chance chance of bad grades and ec’s.</p>

3

<p>You speaking english correctly may help me better understand what you are trying to say.</p>

4

<p>sorry, i commented on kindle, and its not the best tablet especially the autocorrect . I would say that the schools are all reaches because grades are still a big part of the admission process and yours are unfortunately really low.</p>

5

<p>Are you good enough to be recruited? Because chances do increase greatly…yet you’re doing astrophysics so I doubt playing in college is your plan. High SAT’s, eh GPA might not be good enough, and you’re e.c. activities seem limited to me, but I’m not sure how much of your time was spent in baseball.</p>

6

<p>Are you a senior already as you mentioned National Merit finalist on the list. Also you listed AP scholar but you only have 2 AP classes in sophomore year unless you’ve self studied for a third one. If you are in senior, it is a bit too late to ask this question. You listed up to Junior GPA. If you are not estimating, then you must be in senior. But then, you said “will apply EA”. So I guess you may be a junior assuming the NMF and AP scholar status.</p>

7

<p>BC’s a match, the rest are reaches.</p>

8

<p>You have a chance, but remember that there are lots of other kids who are just as qualified as you. Make sure you also have a list of matches and safeties to apply to.</p>

9

<p>Work on ECs.</p>
