I have very minimal volunteer hours (probably about five so far). If I take on an extracurricular in my senior year, obtain more volunteer hours, and maintain my GPA, would I have a chance of getting into the colleges listed above? I have yet to take the SAT, which I plan to take the very first time it is offered in the new school year.

I am attending high school in an American school in Japan because my dad is in the military. I know that colleges look for diversity and unique experiences, so would that help me any? Thank you. I have already researched these colleges and the majors they offer, which is why I'd like to be accepted into them... You didn't really answer my question.... Read More »
