If the coaches at these schools are looking for you, you've got a good shot already. I think that some of those schools require SAT II's, including writing (could someone else back me up on this?), so make sure to take those. Your grades and scores might hurt you at some of your reach schools, so don't slack off this year. Your EC's look good, and will look even better if you can cast the focus on your numerous leadership roles.

Also, what's your class rank?

no class rank at my school and I have taken SAT 2s

600 math
730 History
700 Writing...

And I know I have really really good recomendations from teachers and counsilor..

College guidance guy went to middlebury...


you think that I should get an extra recomendation from my spanish teacher who went to middlebury as well?

Also I go to a very hard private school in South FL, so my geographical location should help a bit as well...

And I will have taken 3 aps by the time I graduate which is a good number considering the school only lets you take no more than 6 or so. Plus my GPA was like a 3.2 freshman, 3.5 sophmore, 3.7 junior or something like that I know it started really low and I have picked it up a ton...

Hamilton and Colagate are decent schools. But they seem to be in the middle of nowhere. they're about 45 mins - an hour away from Syracuse. There's not much to do around there. Middlebury is a nice college, when I was still planning on majoring in Spanish, that's where I wanted to go But those 3 are VERY selective colleges
