What parts of my application look bad?

  • Answer:

    This is an impossible question to answer. I'm not in your shoes, you should be talking this over with your family. PS: You may want to get your test scores up if you're even thinking about applying to the Ivies.

Your 50 hours of community service is low -- you might want to leave that off your list unless you can get it well above 100 hours by the time you apply. Your work experience, however, is good, since many high school students don't bother working before they go to college (to their detriment). Your SAT scores are low for the first six schools on your list, so you should probably drop those. But you might want to look at Boston College and Holy Cross (if Holy Cross offers the majors you're interested in). You'd seem to be a good fit for Notre Dame and Boston College since you appear to be Catholic and interested in sports and writing. There's a TV station adjacent to the Notre Dame campus (and connected to the university) that might offer sports writing opportunities, especially if you volunteer as soon as you get there. The local newspaper might also be receptive to a student willing to cover, say, the lesser Notre Dame sports or the high school teams. You're a strong candidate, but the Ivies, Stanford and Duke are very hard to get into. You might have better luck with Georgetown, especially if you're coming out of a Catholic high school.

Ouch...im loving the gpa, but you'll need better act/sat scores to get into harvard, princeton, columbia, or stanford...it might slide at the rest though...
