hmmm well u have an awesome rank..but so so standardized test scores, AP scores, extra curics...i think u have a shot at all of them and will get into atleast one of them, maybe notre dame?...i think NU is your biggest reach too

clinegirl

i think you are doing okay...again maybe one...did you submit all your AP scores? They may not like the lower scores. If you have a great essay and good recommendations, you will probably get in to notre dame or maybe another. sorry about Ross PA

gr2l

thanks yeah, I realize my weakness is probably test scores and ECs...and no I did not report the two AP science scores.

gr2l

You're stats are okay, but not exceptional for any of these schools. If you had good essays and recs, then you have a shot.

with the exception of basketball, i dont see any commitment to any ECs. that's what top colleges look for.

you should have sent those SAT II's in. they wouldnt have hurt your profile....better than no SAT IIs.

reach for all.

Reach for all. NU is extremely difficult to get into nowadays. You have a shot, but you need to write excellent essays and have good recs.
