What are MY chances of getting in?

<p>Hello, I’m a Senior for the class of 2010, and I consider myself a bit ignorant of the college process, due to the lack of a counselor. I would like to know how my standing looks and if I am in any way competitive for top colleges. I appreciate any suggestions, and thanks for coming! </p>

<p>(not in order of preference) (any other recommendations?)</p>

<p>I’d look to taking a science and math SAT II sometime in the future.</p>

<p>If I were you I would definately take a different SAT II
If you are of hispanic ethnicity it looks like you took the easy way out by taking a Spanish SAT II
Take a Math or Science SAT II</p>

<p>You are completely qualified but I know that that doesnt mean anything
My senior year 7 kids applied to cornell including me, all basically equally qualified and only one got in, its a lottery thing, luck of the draw.</p>
