<p>Would these schools be turned off by seeing two classes- SGA and a varsity sport- both on a student’s schedule?</p>
<p>I get all A’s, I’m currently ranked top 10 in my class of 500… Just trying to figure out my schedule for next year.</p>
<p>Any advice welcome. I want to go to Duke or Vanderbilt.</p>
<p>What is SGA?</p>
<p>student government</p>
<p>what matters most is your SAT1 or ACT scores, all other parameters are not that important.</p>
<p>We want to see the rest of your file…</p>
<p>No way! Well, at least that much. Isn’t student government supposed to look good to colleges?</p>
<p>If your grades are good, than there’s nothing to worry about. It’s like when people get stressed about a Study Hall looking bad- well if the person is taking 4 APs, who cares?</p>
<p>No offense, but i hope you understand the Duke and Vandy are extremely selective. What is your GPA and ACT/SAT score? Also if that is the ONLY thing you have on your Extracurriculars…then fix that, 2 ECs that are generally common looks EXTREMELY weak. Also 4 APs is NOTHING. Most kids applying will have 10-12. I would say high reach</p>
<p>Please, get some backup plans to Vandy and Duke.</p>
<p>milkyway wake up SGA doesn’t mean much, what means is in the order of preference:
1, GPA, GPA, GPA
2. SAT or ACT scores
3. ECs
4. Essays
Sga could come under ECs but its significance is minimal.</p>

<p>And i thought i would never say this, but i agree with Catria :p</p>
<p>Like everybody else has said there are other things that matter more. Will it lower your rigor? Yes, but I don’t think that would be a main reason for a rejection. Again like everybody else has said, make sure you apply to several more reasonable schools…</p>
<p>Trust me between Catria and Artsygirl you could never go wrong. Their advice is right on and dead center.</p>
