<p>(Just a forewarning, our feeder school district does a terrible job with placement and placed a lot of worthy people in a Physical Science class instead of Biology as fresmen while some people that were in Freshmen Bio ended up taking remedial classes by their junior year or are struggling with AP Chemistry/Bio, HS district finally realized this and are completely revamping the curriculums and are having the final say in class placement)</p>

<p>Volunteer/EC's (my weakness ;/)
North Techonlogy Club (ran unsuccesfully for Vice Prez 3x in a row (if you get your friends to jam pack into the club during voting day, it wont end up nicely for you and seeing all those kids never come back), Teacher has noted that i would have been a better choice, but democracy with its faults heeded otherwise)
Model U.N
National Society of High School Scholars

150 hours at Hospital
Various small amounts of hours at other places such as food drives, clinics
Planning to shadow a physician this summer</p>
<p>Any comments/feedback is appreciated! One last question: with CA being in a budget crisis at this time, do any OOS state students get any merit scholarships at all (even if it isnt huge (10ks) amounts?</p>
Im from illinois too!
Where are you from?
