EC:
Figure Skating (9, 10, 11, 12)-my main EC. I’ve skating since I was maybe 8. I’m not nationally ranked or anything but I’ve won/medaled in some fairly large competitions. I skate maybe 8-10 hours a week during the school year, 14-16 hours a week during the summer. I have skating right after school so I don’t have time for clubs
Learn to Skate (11, 12)-I teach Learn to Skate at a local YMCA
A discussion group at my school (10, 11, 12)
Volunteering (9, 10, 11, 12)-I’ve probably gotten at least 100 hours
Awards:
National French Contest (4th National, 9th National, 10th National, 8th regional)
National Latin Exam Gold
Skating stuff
Stonehill College Book Award
Most likely National Merit Semifinalist
I’m just worried about my weak ECs and lack of awards.

You said to chance you back on my thread, but I don’t think I’m very qualified to do that. But if you don’t get into all those schools I don’t know who will. Your course load and scores are incredible.
I agree with the others above me. I think your academic success (especially your test scores) really puts you up there. I wouldn’t worry about your extracurriculars because you seem very dedicated to skating. I imagine balancing your academic rigor with your demanding skating schedule was difficult, but you managed it! Not a lot of people can say that. Your volunteer hours are great also! You’re definitely good for the competitive non-ivies. Good luck!
does your school rank?
as others have said, for most of the schools you listed, i don’t think you have to worry about getting in. you have strong stats and ECs, and i’m sure you’ll have good essays and recs as well. i’d say georgetown, usc, cornell, dartmouth are reaches, with the two ivies being higher reaches. the rest are matches imo. best of luck!
