<p>first of all take everything negative out of your resume....dont phrase things
as you dropped orchestra cause too busy...state it as play violin(?) 10 years and enjoy playing with a small ensemble group
any club or class that was waste of time, dont state, take off of the resume
they dont want to see a million clubs ...just a few that u have a passion for</p>

<p>i am a parent of an 08...who restarted the dartmouth table tennis club 3 years ago...they play every t and th nite ..some use it as pe credit
they take a team to harvard maybe 5 times during the winter months and play against tufts, mit , northeastern, bc, harvard,etc...best of region goes
to nationals..my son wrote his college essay on playing competitive table tennis..he is also the coed team champ of beer pong on campus (im so proud)</p>

<p>your grades look great of course ..your sat and sat2 need 700 plus across the board which u have...apply ed if you love the place...is big red indicating a preference for cornell? good luck and hope to see you as prez of tt club.</p>
