<p>Definitely padded!
Some of your post may be true , but a full time,40 hour job ?, all state athlete with a mediocre hi 16 minute 5Ktime?, near perfect gpa ?,and all those clubs listed (even though you admit that they don’t take time!).When do you sleep , train for track ,study or have time to have friends?
Trying to explain the 9 AP’s as only 2 per year , how many did you take as a freshman?
40 hours a week at McDonalds? If you worked 3 hours a day mon-fri , that leaves 25 HOURS total for Saturday and Sunday.I doubt that you could work two 12 1/2 hour shifts on the weekend…</p>
<p>Be proud of your accomplishments , but keep it real.</p>
<p>Be honest in your application , the padding will be be suspected and will be picked up.
You will be better off showing your strengths and the EC’s you are passionate about.
It’s all about quality , not quantity.
Good luck!</p>
