<p>hahahaha as long as you don’t write about raising that money like you did in the above post, that will look really outstanding. in fact, no matter how you did it, it is really outstanding. don’t put yourself down; making $160,000 to build schools in Uganda is something that most high schoolers, less 8th graders, would even consider possible. plus it sounds like you’ve done what interests you throughout high school, not just what ECs you thought you needed to get into an elite school. ironically, many of these schools are looking for people like you rather than those kids who have like 30,000 ECs none of which are really important to them. </p>

American University - you’ll get rejected because your stats are too high unless you go and visit campus like literally 10 times and have 45,000 interviews. all american cares about is how much attention you give them during the application process. it’s really strange. they have no problem accepting someone with a 2.9 GPA and 1850 SAT over you as long as they showed more interest than you. </p>
<p>good luck :)</p>
