-additionally took an anatomy class over the summer at my local community college
*my school just opened a cambridge program and this is their equivalent to an AP in rigor. Not sure how it will be weighted or anything but idk I think the class sounds interesting.
Ecs:
-Varsity soccer starter since freshman year
-Competitive club soccer since I was 9 (top 20 in state, takes up a lot of time)
-Mu Alpha Theta memeber since freshman year (treasurer)
-National Science Honor Society (president)
-Science Bowl participant (team captain): top 5 in region
-French Honor Society (treasurer)
-National Honor Society Member
-300+ volunteer hours in a sailing camp for kids with dissabilities
-100+ volunteer hours at local hospital
-50+ volunteer hours at homeless shelter
-Held an internship during the summer at this company where I took part in negotiations for raw materials.
-Will be doing cancer research over the school year.
-Fluent in 4 languages ( spanish, portuguese, french and english)
-Doubt this counts for anything but I’ve attended the Hopkins summer program last year (maintained a 4.0).
Rec letters should be really good since I’ll be getting them from my fav math teacher (luckly had her for all 4 years) and my ap lit teacher (amazing writer). Would be applying for financial aid, but as far as money goes, I’m blessed enough that my parents told me not to worry about that.
Additionally, my school is a small, competitive magnet school that speciallizes in Maritime and other STEM related courses.
I dont have an intended major in mind yet but I was considering International Studies, Public Heath Studies, Biochemistry, Economics/Finance or Business
Any help is appreciated!!
