[ *] Subjective (ECs, special circumstances, etc): I’ve got a strong business focus in my extracurriculars. I participated in DECA and FBLA in my high school (creating DECA) - and after attaining presidencies in both my senior year - rather than keep them to show that I have more officer positions - I consolidated them into an overarching business club so that the organizations would run more efficiently. I also created our first Economics Society that managed to place first in the state for the Texas Econ Challenge and qualify for the Nat’l Econ Challenge in NYC. I’ve got quite a few misc. state/regional awards in both DECA/FBLA and one-two national ones. My hobby is mostly paper trading - and I’ve managed to beat the S&P index for the past 3 years (mostly ETFs and not indv. stocks). Apart from that I hold a community service coordinator. position in an Engineering org. that does science demos for elementary students in the community. A few misc awards in science such as state science olympiad/science bowl and some chemistry summer research.

<p>Indian Optimist, why must you post on this thread? Oh wait, its for Ross. I guess have no idea but pretty good shot if you ask me. If for LSA, sure in?</p>
<p>Total Collapse, very solid all around with EC’s should help overshadow your decent SAT score. I think youre in.</p>
<p>Thanks for your input my6cents!</p>
<p>I posted here a couple weeks ago, but I only got a few responses. A little compliment/criticism can go a long way! I appreciate all feedback.</p>

<p>I was thinking that I might get waitlisted, then approved after my 1st sem. senior year, because it’s my first time with AP’s</p>
<p>Why r u only taking aps now?</p>
<p>Not too sure what the SAT equivalent is to a 29 ACT score. Lacking in EC’s. You wont stand apart from others with similar grades</p>
<p>^ you gotta do stuff bro. Reach</p>
<p>Being in 6 clubs, 3 of which for all 4 years is still lacking? Leadership seems to be key. hmm</p>
<p>Its quality over quantity</p>
<p>Leadership helps. You could volunteer</p>
<p>But you wouldn’t get pretty much any hours actually. Try to run for positions in your 3 clubs</p>
