<p>EC's:
-Varsity Field Hockey (3 years, hopefully will become captain)
-Varsity Ice Hockey (3 years)
-Varsity Tennis (Been playing since I was three, 1st Starter on varsity for 3 years, good national ranking, hoping to play in college)
-Golf (8 years, seperate from school)
-Hospital Volunteering
-Unified Theatre (at my school its when we put on a play with special needs kids once a year)</p>

<p>I don't have that many EC's because most of my time is focussed on tennis. Training and matches take up a lot of time, so unfortunately I can't do as much volunteering, or join as many clubs as other people can. </p>

<p>Also, how can I find out my cumulative G.P.A? And does anyone have any suggestions for some other “matches” for me because I have basically none.</p>

<p>Although I would normally write a very detailed post to you about this, I’m not feeling well right now, so I apologise. However, I want to write SOMETHING at least ^_^</p>

<p>Your list is large, not that that’s bad. What I mean is that it encompasses a wide variety, and I’m sure that schools like Vanderbilt, Tufts, and NYU would be much closer to matches than you might think. A safety is necessary for this list (UConn?), but other than that, I think you have a great shot at a lot of these schools. Upper level schools (e.g. Stanford) and Ivies and such will be difficult because of ECs, but you’ve also got URM working for you (although I’m not sure what that will do with the presumably high income). </p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>
