<p>ECs:
I did the Columbia summer program for genetics and molecular biology. I know that doesn't count for anything, but I'm hoping it shows that I'm really interested in the school.
Newspaper (award-winning): Copy Editor/ Managing Editor
Paid Internship this summer with Georgetown Medical Center. I'm biology and chemistry focused.
Volunteer with Red Cross, local children's art program (helped teach kids art two summers) 200 hours? I also do tutoring. I don't know if that counts for volunteering but I think that would be about 300 hours of volunteering if it counts.
Art portfolio (I'm sending in a copy to all schools). I've won some state awards for art.
Honor Societies: National, History, Math, Science, Quill and Scroll, French, English
Science Honor Society Board (we don't have presidents, its just 3 board members)
French HS officer
Hoping on Math HS president
First/second for regional science and engineering fair, did state fair. (but I don't think this counts for much)
Volleyball team at school not captain or anything though.
Model UN </p>
<p>I'm definitely applying to Columbia ED, not sure about CC or SEAS. My school doesn't send many people to Ivies (like one each year), at least one gets into Duke for each class. </p>

Columbia

UVA (these are my main three that I want to get into)
Emory
