<p>Pretty good essay, from what people have said.</p>

<p>Thanks for your imput</p>

<p>Oh and, all my volunteer adds to over 200 hours, and GPA is unweighted. I have really awesome letters of recommendation too. By the way these are just for my reach schools, my safety schools, I didn’t bother to list.</p>

<p>any suggestions on other reach schools anyone?</p>

<p>your ec’s are weak, but the varsity track & volunteer hours will help balance that, and your sat i score is weak, but the sat ii’s will help balance that, its more like back and forth for you, not very consistent, but um to be honest, i think northwestern is a high reach, wash u is low reach, tufts is a low reach if your essay is good (cuz they are veryyy picky when it comes to essays)…that’s my opinion =)</p>

<p>Might look at some liberal arts schools like Bowdoin, Holy Cross or Trinity. Holy Cross has a very strong pre-med program as does Tufts.</p>

<p>Thanks, do you thank I have any chance at a musical scholarship(I don’t plan to major in music though)</p>

<p>bump and what about USC?</p>
