a shot? I'd say you're "crazy good," just like "Coooookie Crisp." Ahh the onset of nostalgia for the antediluvian days of childhood.

You definitely have a chance, but your EC's appear to be a little scattered and I can't quite pinpoint an activity you're extremely passionate about. However, you can make up for this by writing a great essay. Best of luck!

yes slick, i think you got a chance. turn in a great essay and improve your chances. even though somebody said your EC's are a little scattered, to me they show some good balance (multiple sports + work + volunteering). the only thing that may be missing is some leadership positions. Maybe you can get to be named captain of one of your sports teams, or be an officer in one of your school clubs. Good luck.
