<p>I would definitely apply if I were you, your stats sound very similar to mine except my extracurriculars were all for 4 years and I earned a bunch of awards, but your test scores and GPA are higher than mine. Also, you are a first-generation student so I think that should help as well. Definitely apply, I bet you'll get in! =)</p>

<p>And by the way, that is AWESOME that you do synchro! I did it for a few years around when I was 12 along with swim team and I LOVED it!</p>
