Any Shot Folks?

I hope you don’t mind my comparing you to myself, but your ECs seem to be fairly similar to mine(I was also on the newspaper in different capacities during my four years of HS, only I served as the EIC during my last year), and your academics are a little worse (you should really try to go for all As during your senior year). I’d say that you have a decent shot, so you should write a stellar essay (if you want to read mine, message me) and make sure that you get the best recommendations from teachers. Aside from that, it will all come down to the interview, which you should prepare for as much as possible.

Btw, did you receive any local/regional/state/national awards during your four years on math? The admission officers like to see commitment, but they like seeing concrete results even more.
