And its making me feel really inadequate.
I mean come on, who had participated in 15 after school activities and done over 10 jobs of volunteer work. Guess I'm not cut out for college. Edited by cdacda13 - 27 November 2007 at 12:47pm |

Thats going to be my main problem.
I'm a good student, 3.14 GPA, 84th in a class of 354. SATs- 590 on math and reading, 560 on writing. But those damn questions of volunteer work and extra-curricular activities, those are going to kill me. |

Ahh, and then there are the essays.
"Write a 5 page paper about how you cured cancer or did something nearly as important" You should just go to a trade school and become a mechanic. It's good money these days! Edited by Jack Carver - 27 November 2007 at 1:05pm |

I have a ton of community service which will help. Also one of my good friends is president of the organization, so he could always sign me up for a few extra... But no sports and not too many clubs which might be bad.

That seems pretty ridiculous Strife. How many places did you apply? Were they like Harvard and Yale? or just regular universities?

No, it's higher than that but not great... 3.14 is more like a B- |

Did you not apply to any bigger schools? I feel like that GPA alone would get you denied from some bigger schools (no offense). Everything else is pretty solid. |
