<p>I know I already posted this, but I just became aware of the early action application.</p>

<p>I have been actively involved in my community and school and have earned the President's award for 4,000 community service hours. I have a 4.00 GPA unweighted and will take all possible AP classes for my school (I've taken 2 and will take 3 more my senior year). I am the current salutatorian out of 100 people. I have a 34 on my ACT composite with a 35 on English and a 36 on Math. I have a 2240 on the SAT with a 730 CR, 790 Math, and 720 Writing. I am an Eagle Scout with 6 palms and have been recently been named the American Legion Tennessee Eagle Scout of the Year and 2nd in the National Eagle Scout of the Year competition. I am a member of Leadership for the Lord, Bible Club, Spanish Club, National Honor Society (since 10th grade), and SGA (grade representative for 1 year). I have played piano for 10 years and trombone for 4 years. I play trombone on the Memphis Youth Symphony and have made all west for 2 years. I also sing in my school's A Capella and have made all west for 4 years with 1 year as an alternate for all state. In scouts I am the National Order of the Arrow (BSA honor society) chairman for my lodge and received the triple crown award. I am captain of my tennis team which went to state this year and have played soccer and footbal for 7 and 5 years respectively. I attended Boy's State this summer and out of 600 applicants, I was chosen as first alternate for boy's nation (only 2 were accepted). I will be a page for a U.S. federal senator two weeks this summer in Washington D. C. What are my chances of getting accepted? </p>

<p>SAT II subject tests-?? (don't know yet I'm taking them in 7 hours but based on practice tests: Math I-800, Math II-800, American History-760)</p>

<p>I have many more ECs but I think this list is a good variety of what I do.</p>

<p>Your stats and EC’s indicate that you are certainly qualified. However, much depends on your teacher recommendations, essays, guidance counselor’s secondary school report and how they stack up against other students who have similar stats. My honest guess is that you are definitely in the ballpark. Beyond that, no one can truly say what chance you have. Best of luck to you in the admissions process.</p>

<p>I think you definitely fit the profile of an admitted student. Being from TN will be a valuable asset in your application, and colleges love leadership and volunteering. While you shouldn’t expect admission, it would certainly be worthwhile to apply.</p>
