<p>I give you credit for the fact you wrote out all your ECs, I myself have no patience for it so rock on. Anyways, you should get into the SUNYs and you have a pretty good shot at NYU and BU although your SATs are a little low (you and I are in the same boat with that). I don’t know much about the other schools. Good luck though!</p>

3

<p>O yea to add: My dad went to NYU, if that helps…
and from all of my high school years ALL classes were Honors classes, except for my electives, and english ( 1 year AP though). I am also 1st chair violinist played for about (9 yearsish) anything else to add? I dont know…maybe if i think of it ill add</p>

<p>double bump bump comon there are over 200 views and only 1 person can reply?</p>

6

<p>I think there are so many views and so few responses because once they see the hugely long post they ignore it…</p>

<p>BUT, I think that your SATs may be a big problem at Cornell, NYU, and BU. The rest I can’t really speak for because I don’t know a ton about. Remember that schools only want to see the best of the best of your ECs and not a laundry list of every single one. I am by no means bashing you but I was really surprised when I had to start filling out applications and leave off literally half of my ECs. Including a resume is an option but a debated option.</p>

7

<p>Yea I know they say mention your like top EC’s, i think i picked Volunteer, community service, pit orchestra, … I included my resume to almost all the colleges i applied to only cause i want to show i am in more than just 6 Ec’s at school so the have a better understanding of what i do…</p>

8

<p>Who’s Who, You’re a shoo-in.</p>

9

<p>WahooCavilier was trying to be funny…</p>

<p>Who’s Who really shouldn’t be listed as an EC or an award because everybody gets it and there really isn’t any distinction.</p>

10

<p>ur scores are too low, but your ECs look good. rifle is something unique you should emphasize.</p>

<p>10-20% shot at cornell</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

11

<p>so who’s who is worthless?
ahh
thanks for the cornell chances - i kinda figured it was low, but its a reach for a reason …what about my other colleges</p>

<p>I don’t think you’ll get into Cornell. Also that massive list of ECs is worthless. Dump the junk, emphasize stuff you actually did and continued with for a while.</p>
