<p>Great academics, nothing spectacular in EC's however. At least you worked somewhere too. EC will hurt you, academics will help. I would give you a 10-20 percent shot (same pretty much every candidate like you has unless they have a strong hook etc)</p>

<p>I think a lot of candidates will just have the same great academics like yours. So the essays and teachers' reccomendation should mean a lot. Good Luck!!</p>

<p>The SAT IIs are both concentrated in math... Based on everything I can see you're very talented in math. I think the Drama Club will show something unique about you. Good luck!</p>
