ECs:
This is a weak area for me. I have done 3 sports for 4 years each. I had a job this summer painting houses. I have 300+ community service hours as a childcare provider, math tutor, sound technician at my church, and through a missions trip to New Orleans in 2009. I have also devoted time to helping children with special needs, teaching a child with Autism at Sunday School & volunteering at the Special Olympics.

Awards:
NHS, Rensselaer Medal for Math/Science

I am not even sure what my safety/reach/match schools are, but I would like to know how my chances would be if, say, I applied early decision/action to Penn or Princeton.

Thank you.
