<p>You look to be in very good shape with a great application. You have the academics (there is nothing else you could possibly do and make sure the admissions counselor knows that) and you have the scores (I would aim for a 2100 in the SAT). You have the sports and also the extracurricular activities. </p>
<p>The two major things you need to remember is the essay and teacher recommendations. It is also critical to develop a major passion - something you love and you do everything you can do - it is important to have volume, but it is also key to have a clear frontrunner - if you don’t understand what i mean let me know … from looking at your application here, I would go with one of two possible essays a) something about your involvement with your mother and cancer - a great introduction could be when you first found out and how you and your family had the ups and downs (I am soo sorry if I brought up a tough subject here) … or b) about how you like to give back to your community through the freshmen help and tutoring. I would write both and pick the one you like. </p>
<p>also i don’t know if this is legal but i am pretty sure it is - if anyone wants to pm me an essay I will do my best to look it over and send back some comments - i will not guarantee anything as my schedule will probably get busy once school starts, but I will do my best.</p>
