What language have you been taking?

Your SAT is great. I wish I had that score...

I think you have a good chance. Your ECs could be better, but that can be made up by great essays.

French... I've taken it for 4 yrs getting A's in it but I've decided to not take AP french 5 (i hate it). I hope it doesnt hurt me. Also, we have AP english senior year and even though I got a B in Honors English this year I still qualify... I've opted to not take it. These two decisions I hope can be balanced by the fact that I'm taking 4 AP classes.

you shouldn't worry too much.

Concentrate on getting all As, and try to delve deep into your ECs. Try to brainstorm the "story" of your app. Right now you just seem like an abover average high school student.

What school are you applying to? Also, your ECs seem to be lacking unity and focus. But your grades and SAT scores are awesome. Good luck.

You look pretty good. Also consider William & Mary or Davidson. Similar quality/calibre students but not as many applicants.
