<p>I was just wondering how I stack up based off my freshman year. Keep in mind I’m planning on adding TONS of extracurriculars and volunteer work in the years to come. For sophomore, junior, and senior year I’ll be doing a minimum of 30 hours per year.</p>

<p>I also am aware that the essays play a huge part of my apps. I just want to know if I’m on the right track academically and extracurricular wise.</p>

<p>I really would like to go to Cornell (#1 choice!), Yale, Brown, Vanderbilt, Georgetown, or Vassar. Some of my safeties include Manhattanville and UMass Amherst, both of which I am legacy of. Which one of those is within my reach? Any other college suggestions would also be helpful! Thanks :)</p>

<p>You are on the right track, I would suggest upping your volunteer work though. Don’t add a bunch of EC’s do what you like and do a lot of hours of it. It is more meaningful to have one volunteer place where you do 100 hours a year, then four places where you do 25 a year. Keep your grades high, you should be fine.</p>

<p>Can’t chance without a SAT/ACT score.</p>
