Guys, am i too well-rounded? i’m worried these colleges will think i’m not committed enough to one thing…</p>
<p>Nah, you have a great chance of getting in :)</p>
<p>U sure? i mean no one really does…but i’m worried that since i didnt take the highest possible math and science courses it won’t be as impressive? but does siemens make up for it??</p>
<p>if you’re looking into engineering, not having the highest math/science will hurt you a bit, if not it doesnt matter</p>
<p>another thing i didnt add: my transcript isnt totally perfect; i have 2 B’s. One in freshman english and the other in soph AP world :/</p>
<p>how much does your school add to weight for honors/AP? My school does 3 for honors, 6 for AP.</p>
<p>Ivies are all crap-shoots, as nearly everyone who applies has great grades, test scores and EC’s. Your chances are as good as everyone else’s. Apply, but also consider schools that you can be sure of getting accepted just in case.</p>
<p>I don’t think you can BE too well rounded. You’re a great candidate for the ivies, but there are a number of unpredictable factors so dont bank on getting in and make sure you have safeties.</p>
