Unique extracurriculars, you definitely seem like a good fit for the school. Your SAT’s are within their typical range but if you don’t feel that they accurately represent your profile, Holy Cross doesn’t require that you submit scores. Courseload looks good too. However, your GPA could be higher & extracurriculars could use some rounding out - try to get a premed-related internship this summer, and don’t be afraid to pick up any relevant clubs or volunteer opportunities coming into your senior year. Finally, remember that the school only accepts a third of applicants - no matter how qualified of an applicant you are, it’s never a good idea to set your heart on any one school. Good luck!!

Chance back? :slight_smile: http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1751707-chances-for-yale-tufts-wesleyan.html?new=1
