Pg0514:

Hey! Current TAMS student here. As long as you have good grades in your classes you should do ok. Your extra-curriculars do seem a little weak as you pointed out. If joining clubs at school is not possible for you, try and look for something outside of school to do. It is really important that you show admissions that you are a valuable community member. Even if your extracurriculars are weak, it is still possible to save your application through a high SAT score, and a high class rank. As of right now, it is difficult to tell your standing due to the lack of information of a formal SAT score and grades.

Thanks for your advice!
The SAT grade have just come out; to my dismay I only got 1390, for 690+700. Do you think this score is sufficient to knock it?
Also by “outside school”, do you recommend me to do volunteering in places like libraries and Goodwill, or do you intend something else?
By the way, is there any way to compensate for the fact that the school does not rank students?
Please let me know. Thanks!
