Thanks all!

asfsamurai - I’m pretty upset about my writing score, too. I got a 71/80 on multiple choice which I’m okay with, but I somehow got a 7 on the essay. I truly feel that this is a mistake and I am going to try and get my essay re-graded.

Most of you are saying that the schools I’m looking at are mostly safeties, or on the safe-side of match. These are ones that my guidance counselor all called a match for me because of my lack of ECs. Do you really think I have a shot at better schools (Dartmouth, Swarthmore, etc.) even with very minimal ECs?

Like, I’m probably not even going to make NHS in my school because we need a minimum of 5 years in clubs (like if you’ve been in 2 clubs for 3 years of HS that’s 6 years) but I’m only in 3 (dance isn’t through school) and I joined them all this year. I’m so embarrased by having a high GPA and not being in NHS :(
