-School Library Regular Volunteer (7th and 8th)

Your ECs are much more impressive than mine and I got in, so ECs shouldn't be a problem. From my experience, essays are crucial. Various other factors include SSATs and whether or not you need Financial Aid. It's impossible to chance in that regard.

I didn't take the SSATS, but I took the SATs in 7th and 8th grade, and got around above a 1600, forgot the score :/.
