<p>hmm… you seem to have a very broad range of things you’re involved in, and the dual varsity captaincies works in your favor. I’d like to hear more about the community service – # of hours doesn’t tell much about what you have done, and you might want to consider pioneering a community service venture rather than joining a pre-existing program. If you’re in the highest classes your school offers even though it’s only one AP that shouldn’t hurt you (they judge pplz based on how they took advantage of the opportunities they were afforded), but you might want to consider self-studying for an AP or two if you have the time (with a dual curriculum it can be difficult). I can’t really say anything about your academic success because you don’t have any scores to base that on, but obviously the higher the scores the higher your chances. Mostly though, I think the main thing this app seems to be lacking is a theme or passion. I see you involved in a whole gamut of activities, but I don’t see what you have a passion for and what you really devote most of your time toward achieving. Is it music? art? mathematics? What makes you tick? I think that your resume should convey the answer to that question – you have a broad range of activities but you also need a thematic consistency with at least one of them to show the admissions committee which activity is the one you really care about. Because it’s going to be your passion that makes you stand out.</p>
<p>Anyway, that’s my feedback ^^ I don’t know how accurate it will be but if I were an admissions officer that’s what I would think if I read your application. In terms of your chances… idk. Too soon to tell, the resume isn’t complete enough for anyone to really gauge. Good luck though~!</p>
<p>Thanks for the response!
My true passion is skiing though. I am an expert, and I was actually the first 14 year old, 15 year old, and 16 year old (3 years and counting) to complete a challenge in which you ski down the 13 hardest runs in western america (if not the whole country). What’s cool is that the average age of completion is 22, and there were 2500 people!!
My other passions are my Key club and debate club. I put a lot of time and effort into those clubs, and they are really my passion (especially debate, since I want to be a lawyer)</p>
<p>Ok so make sure your awards / leadership roles / activities reflect those passions clearly so that those ones stand out as opposed to say “Co-head of Voices for Israel” which, while a potentially interesting / important activity, is not one in which you invest most of your time. They should stand out in terms of quantity (# of activities relating to this theme) as well as quality (leadership, awards, etc. in this field).</p>
