<p>Thanks for any comments…</p>
<p>I’d say:</p>
<p>Match/Slight Reach</p>
<p>Slight Reach since your not really scoring brownie points in the extracurricular area, and that may or may not ruin your chances.</p>
<p>All I can say is, write amazing essays, because they may determine your admissions in this case. </p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
<p>Edit to add SAT II’s
Math IIC - 800
Physics - 690</p>
<p>Elaborate more on your extracurriculars. Like what division of each sport and how many years? And more in-depth resume.</p>
<p>Sure.</p>

<p>I’m not God, but the way you were talking about before with your ECs deceived me. You are definitely well rounded and have shown that. You seem to be a respectable individual, receiving those sportmanship awards. Also, positions like secretary of NHS help a lot. It displays responsibility and leadership, which colleges love. </p>
