<p>See in California, #4 doubles doesn’t even play. Our matches are 6 singles and 3 doubles matches. So to win league, division, and conference at #4 doubles is great and all, but you cant be recruited off of that. They want to see what you contributed to the team, and at our school #4 doesn’t play. Period. So if they stacked it than you should have had some playing time, and you need to make that clear to the adcoms. If you were a top player, you can see clearly what you contributed to win these awards.</p>
<p>And again, these are top schools who recruit top players and high-achievers in their ECs. They’ll want to know why you were not #1 on your team and why your only experience in Biomedical research is two weeks with your uncle. </p>
<p>Theres a girl at our school who had a 4.8 and she did research for a year and she published a paper. But she was not admitted anywhere because the paper was her DAD’s. She had worked in a relative’s lab. What that shows is she did not show ANY initiative in finding a lab/internship and was therefore riding off of another’s success. She finally got into UCLA after being denied by every Ivy and Stanford. </p>
<p>You have 2 weeks! Not even a year! And it was a relative’s lab. I agree with texaspg. If YOU (not your uncle or the people above you on tennis team) dont do anything substantial in tennis or in science, youll have a hard time just getting into Michigan. These are all top schools meaning you have to do something on the top just to get accepted, and #4 doubles is not on top.</p>
