<p>Hey guys… I’m about to start applying to schools, and I’m kinda worried because while my grades/scores are somewhat decent, my extracurriculars suck…please let me know if the following will get me into a school of, say, TCNJ, Lafayette, Lehigh-ish caliber…</p>

<p>GPA= 4.63 (out of 5.3) weighted/ 3.79 unweighted
SAT=2010
will have taken 7 AP exams by end of high school, so far I’ve taken 2-- a 4 on AP Euro and a 5 on AP Chem
Extracurriculars= NIKE (Community Service organization at my school)- grades 9-12
Yearbook Committee- member, grades 9-11, editor-in-chief, grade 12
Camp Counselor at a day camp during the summer, grades 9-12
Ski Club–member, grades 9-10</p>

<p>I know I’m lacking…but do I have a shot?</p>

<p>Seems pretty good to me, editor of chief and camp counselor must have a lot of clout to it.</p>

<p>What are you lacking? Did you really have time for anything else? Extra’s are nice but remember they are extras. Do well in school and add a couple of extras and you’re good. The key with what you have is being able to write or talk about your experience. Did you learn anything new about the world? abut yourself? How has your experience in these extracurricular activities effected your outlook in life? Blah, blah, blah.</p>
