Other -
I think I have good potential teachers for my recommendations.
I play the piano a lot, although I don’t take lessons or have any awards. Have also taken pipe organ lessons.
Some Community Service hours here and there, not a significant total.
I would like to play sports in college but probably am not good enough to be recruited for either of them.
Colleges I’m also considering -
Swarthmore, UPenn, Pomona, Amherst, WashU
I understand that this was really long, I’m just getting really antsy about the application process. Thanks for reading. I would really appreciate if you all were brutally honest with me, or even if you could recommend a few other colleges. I can chance anyone back as well.
