<p>Well?????</p>

<p>What are your thoughts????</p>

<p>The only think I lack so far is my SAT scores (which I have only taken once) I only got a 1637...yeah, I know they suck...also, how much do I need to get them up?</p>

<p>Where did you get this 1637 score from? SAT scores are limited to increments of 10 points. </p>

<p>Also, you might want to repost your resume as it's pretty hard to read right now and will probably keep people from reading it. Look at post #3 on this link for more info if you need it:</p>

<p>That being said, your ECs and GPA are all good for the schools you listed. Your SAT is a big weakness. Being valedictorian and getting 1640 on the SATs is really odd.</p>

<p>You should be in at both...but a 1637?</p>

<p>Yeah, how do you get a 1637? Even if that was a possible score, how do you become valedictorian too?</p>

<p>Your "ECs" can be cut in half (at least). For example, you list class president, but then you go into say graduation coordinator, prom committee chairman, and homecoming committee chairman. Thats all the same thing; as president, you are/should be in charge of school functions. You look odd trying to count them as separate ECs.</p>
