Coursework:–My friends and I had this pact at the end of middle school to always take all honors everything, and that still holds today. I’m not sure if it’s helped me or hurt me so far, but it is what it is. I’ve never taken a regular class unless it was the only option. APs are as follows:
AP Euro- 5
AP Lang- 5
AP USH- 4
AP Physics 1- 4
Currently enrolled in AP: Lit, Calc AB, Physics 2, Bio, Gov, although I don’t plan on taking the lit test because it doesn’t net me any more hours to basically anywhere.
Awards: Discovered today, National Merit Commended Student, missed Semifinalist by a single point, fuck me
Also- 1s at Orchestra State small ensemble for the last three years in both large and small group, and one in a quartet; Principal’s HR, regular HR, Academic Letters, all that, I’m pretty sure every one of you has that; AP Scholar with Honors this year; I’m an Eagle Scout since 2014.
Extracurriculars: I’m first viola in my school’s orchestra and I also play violin- in fact, I teach middle schoolers violin lessons on weekends as my only job. Pays decently. I was involved in Boy Scouts until I got my Eagle, then I sort of got bored and left. I play tennis, although not JV level; I participate in NaNoWriMo and have won four times, three times during High School, I also write novels on the side for fun; NHS in- Spanish, History, Mu Alpha Theta, Science, Tri-M, and regular, and I’m also president of History NHS; I’m on Varsity Scholar’s Bowl; And just a few days ago I joined Model UN just for fun.
Schools: Currently hoping on: WashU, Northwestern, UChicago, Columbia, Stanford. Already accepted to all the state schools I applied to, so I’m not worried on that part. (Sidenote, at one school I misspelled my name on the app and they let me in anyway, whatever)
I’m against the binding nature of ED, but any EA I’m definitely going for. Anything else is RD.
Additional: I’ve ben told that my greatest strengths are in my essays, but I’m not comfortable releasing them on here… I mean, I trust you guys, but all the same.
