| Although your stats are very good ...i would not count on nova gwu and american being saftey schools...yea your chances are high but I would not rely too much on them...gwu and nova especially ...your sat's are good, class rank good, gpa good
...your weakest stats are probably your EC's....im not saying they are bad, but compared to the rest of your resume they arre your weakest....i would suggest to try and becoem more involved in your EC's like being a class officer of one, or creating a new club something like that and then you should be solid |

| i wouldnt call you average at all....
average is a 3.0 and a 1500 sat. people on this website need to shut up and get over themselves.
i think you'd have a fairly decent shot at the competive UCs and whatnot, even out of state. having all 700+ is always a great sign.
and just cuz you dont have like groundbreaking research and didn't discover a new moon, you don't have weak extracurriculars. you have plenty of things you participated in, and many for for fours years.
stop doubting yourself.
you've got a good shot at all.
ivies are stretches for everyone. once you pass 2100 or so, it begins to be more on essays and stuff i think. so work on that. |

| and i would count gw and american as safeties, by the way. villanova could be a bit more of a match, but still. you're bound to get in at least one. american would be the easiest of them all, i would guess. with 1400+ i know you generally have a good shot at merit scholarships, like, really big ones. i would say you'd almost definitely get in. and although i think gw sometimes over hypes itself, it's pretty equal in stats to american. |
