I think my extracurriculars seem weak , so I am wondering if that is just me. If it isn't, do I still have a chance? I am worried that everything is just too average and generic. Also, if you have any suggestions on what I can do to improve my chances I would appreciate it. And, of course, if you could please chance my schools. Thanks to everyone who takes time to reply.

bump it up

I think being on this site gives people and EC-inferiority-complex. They're important, but they don't make-or-break you.

I think you have a decent chance at all the schools you listed, but your chances would go up with a bump in test scores. Definitely try the ACT... some people (like me) do much, much better on it.

Well, when you see people posting things like I started my own successful company, and now I am working on the cure for cancer, it does give you that. I am signed up to take the ACT in June, so maybe I will be like you too.

Also anyone else who can suggest anything your advice is greatly appreciated.

Heh. I know. I see someone who has worked at a research lab for four summers and is publishing their tenth paper, and then I look at my little list, and then I wonder what have I done with my life? LOL.
