<p>What are my chances for the top 20?</p>

<p>Reason for posting:
I’m not sure if I have a chance given the lack of EC’s and awards</p>

<p>It’s difficult to tell. Your ECs definitely are lacking, but your scores and course load are fantastic (but so are everyone’s who applies), although your SAT score is less then stellar for these schools. I wouldn’t rule anything out automatically…maybe Stanford (they like involved students.)</p>

<p>Honestly at this point there is no advice, but good luck! I wouldn’t be surprised if you got into a few. </p>

<p>Thanks. I wish I had done more ECs. I’m retaking the SAT this month so hopefully it goes up.</p>
