Thanks for your help. These are very selective schools. I don’t know if I even have a shot at schools like these. I have good grades and scores but certainly don’t have a “hook” so to speak. I have all the usual ECs, band, president of a club, play water polo on jv and have managed swimming for 4 years. Actually I’d like to manage swimming in college - maybe that would help. Yearbook Committee, write for the political magazine, boy scout. But a zillion other kids do stuff like this.

I have been accepted into a material sciences course given at Penn this summer for Philadelphia area high school juniors. They only take about 20 kids and I am very excited about this course. I’m hoping it will help with my college application as well.

What is your opinion about my applying to such selective schools.

Thanks again.
