My English teacher from last year said that my essays really helped emulate my personality. I didn’t use a lot of big words, I was descriptive, and I just liked to talk about my beliefs, what I’ve done, and where I want to go.
@tooty4, last year, I started a 401c3 non-profit based on running to raise funds for Malaria in Africa. I mean, although I’m non-profited, I didn’t really end up doing anything with it. Should I have brought up that I am non-profited? Or would that have been too unethical? lol
@seal16, I’m interested in EE, but Physics even more so. And with Political Science, I’m connected with Middle Eastern Conflicts as I’m Israeli, and would just love to learn about power play and more on politics. And with UPenn, I’d really only go for business there.
Should I have really only concentrated on one major? And went all out on that one? With the schools I applied to, I’m mostly interested in that major if I were to go there. Like with MIT, I’d much rather major in Physics than EE there.
I really didn’t have a lot of time for EC 
. My schoolwork was really hard–and if I got even one B, I knew I’d go to 5th in my class (which isn’t bad, it’s just that my school isn’t an ivy feeder).
But, the ECs I was involved in took a took up a ton of time and I was really, really involved in them. I wasn’t trying to go for a laundry list of ECs. AcaDeca took up at least two hours every day. Tennis takes up another three hours. BBYO takes up seven hours a week. Studying took up three hours a day. And I studied about 30 mins a night for FBLA starting January, and the month before the competition, I studied two hours a night. That’s ~7 hours a day. That’s like from 2:30 when I get out, to 9:30 at night. And then also my summers were booked with activities that were really competitive to get into. It was a quagmire. I don’t think I could’ve picked up any more activities (maybe some clubs, but I am president of the Speech and Debate club–but we don’t have a lot of members).
