that’s what i expected to hear about the ECs. on your activity list you’ll get to elaborate on how many hours per week you spend on those…but you probably knew that, too.
having taken two aps before isn’t bad–i’m sure it’s more than a lot of people. but it would have been better had you gotten the four on APUSH and the one on psych…i think a lot of colleges think psych is a bit “fluffier” than US history…but you can use an additional essay to explain your special circumstances with the APUSH test, if you feel it’s necessary.
i’d say you’re a strong candidate and you have a lot of things going for you…you’re from arizona, you’re active in your community, etc…
also, you’re jewish, so maybe that’ll make you stand out at a jesuit school…(not that everyone there is catholic, or anything).
