<p>yeah sounds pretty strong. as long as you wrote a good essay that separates you from the other high achieving kids then you look good</p>

<p>Considering I had pretty similar stats and I got in ED (Robotics VP/Marketing, NHS, Tennis, Senior Mentor, Science Olympiad, class rank & gpa), and where we differ your stats are even better, I’d say you’re going to do well! I could have been helped by the ED boost, however, but I still believe you have a great chance. Good luck!</p>
