I also had been chosen to participate in the URI Chemistry Contest in 10th and 11th grade for my school team. We received 3rd place the first time, and 2nd place the second time. I have received the silver medal on the National Latin Exam two years in a row (10th and 11th grade). I also was given the Wellesley College Book Award in 11th grade, as well as the Touchstone Award from the Student Leadership Training Program.
Going into 9th, 10th, and 11th grade I have challenged myself physically throughout the summer. I have participated in trips through the American Youth Foundation, an organization which encourages teens to build a balanced life in physical, social, mental, and reflective terms. These rigorous trips consist of the 4 Trails Program. I have participated in three: the Explorer track (5 day hike, 6 day bike, 6 day canoe) , the Adventurer track (10 day bike and 10 day hike), and the Voyager track (22 days of biking in Nova Scotia) </p>

<p>So what are my chances? I really want to go!</p>

<p>Your ECs look great! Wellesley likes to see students who challenge themselves academically if your school allows. Although your GPA is slightly higher than mine, by the end of senior year, I had around 12 APs. Your writing score is slightly lower than average, but otherwise I think you have a pretty good shot! Write awesome/personal essays & you should be good to go! (:</p>

<p>My school actually only offers 8 APs (I have taken 5). Is that enough?</p>

4

<p>In that case, you’re fine! :smiley: Sorry, I didn’t know that information previously! hah, your ECs are crazy! How do you have so much time to do so much?!</p>

<p>I think you have a really good chance! The only thing that makes your application a little “weaker” is your SAT score. When they see all the stuff you’ve done, they will most definitely overlook that. Now go chance me!! haha</p>
