<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I don't have many volunteer hours, but that is due to my devotion to wrestling--in addition to the season in which I am either practicing 2 hours every day during the week, at a dual, or at an all day tournament every day, I also attend a wrestling school in the fall and lift during the spring and summer. This summer I also volunteered for 6 weeks in Paraguay--best experience of my life!! Anyways, here are my stats. I recently retook the ACT and am expecting at least a 32, if not a 33--I will update when I get the score.My schedule is also most rigorous, with 4 APs and 2 honors classes this year. If you need any further information, don't hesitate to ask!</p>

<p>You need to get your SATs up, not a lot but you do need to hit at least 700 on each section to be really competitive.
With your current score I’d say it’s a high reach for you.</p>

3

<p>Have you contacted the wrestling coach?? or has he contacted you? They are always looking for athletes but especially athletes in NHS. I would go to the team website and fill out the info form as a place to start.</p>

<p>I am not wrestling in college. I retook the ACT, and I’m hoping to get a 33, which would be better than 700s on each subject on the SAT. The SAT is not my test…</p>

<p>you have a good chance overall though because of EC’s and other stuff.</p>
