<p>Volunteer Work:</p>

<li><p>I have spent my past four years volunteering at the hospital. I have worked in staff management offices where I needed to organize files and data. I have also worked in the medical aid office where I helped mail and edit letters.</p></li>
<li><p>Over the summer I spent time volunteering for the Democratic Headquarters of my town. When I was working for them I was provided with the opportunity to campaign for someone who is running for State Senate. I spent a lot of time in the city trying to gain support for his issues by discussing them when I went to knock on doors.</p></li>
</ol>

</ol>
<p>Research Work:</p>
<ol>
<li>During the summer I spent time working at the Field Neuroscience Institute. While I was there I worked as a research assistant with other high school and college students. We split into groups and spent time trying to convert mesenchymal stem cells into neuronal stem cells in rats. The results came out well and showed that we were able to produce neuronal stem cells with the use of Human Growth Hormone and the processes of Flow Cytometry. The group is currently working on a paper to publish our research.</li>
</ol>
<p>Extra Curricular Activities:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>For the past four years of high school I have been participating in Quiz bowl. Each year our team successfully won regionals and made it to states.</p></li>
<li><p>I took a great interest in debate in school. My first year in debate I was a novice debater. My next year I was able to debate in open debate against more competitive people. This year I will be a debate captain in open debate.</p></li>
<li><p>I have been putting a lot of time into a charity organization. I spent a lot of time out of school helping with different types of fundraisers for this club. We collected money for organizations such as Unicef. We earned money to donate to the people in Haiti. We also hosted a fundraiser for the children at St. Judes hospital.</p></li>
<li><p>I am also participating in Multi Cultural Club. In this club I have taken an interest in being in the food committee. As a worker in the food committee I am in charge of trying to get local restaurants to donate food with the promise of offering those restaurants a sponsorship or advertisement.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I will write a decent essay for my application and hope to apply by the end of October. I will get two good teacher recommendations and a good counselor recommendation.</p>
<p>I have two good letters from Boston University professors when I participated in the Summer Challenge program at Boson University.</p>
<p>Would applying here be a waste of time/money? Or do I have a decent shot of getting in?</p>
