I also had been chosen to participate in the URI Chemistry Contest in 10th and 11th grade for my school team. We received 3rd place the first time, and 2nd place the second time. I have received the silver medal on the National Latin Exam two years in a row (10th and 11th grade). I also was given the Wellesley College Book Award in 11th grade, as well as the Touchstone Award from the Student Leadership Training Program.
Going into 9th, 10th, and 11th grade I have challenged myself physically throughout the summer. I have participated in trips through the American Youth Foundation, an organization which encourages teens to build a balanced life in physical, social, mental, and reflective terms. These rigorous trips consist of the 4 Trails Program. I have participated in three: the Explorer track (5 day hike, 6 day bike, 6 day canoe) , the Adventurer track (10 day bike and 10 day hike), and the Voyager track (22 days of biking in Nova Scotia) </p>

<p>Wesleyan is my second choice, is it too late to do an interview? </p>

<p>I also am submitting an Arts Supplement</p>

<p>Well, I’d say you’re chances of getting into Wellesley by applying to Wesleyan are rather slim ;)</p>

<p>Yep, they still have interviews going!

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance of getting in. I got in with similar-ish stats ED. But you should consider taking a history, language, or literature SATII because Wesleyan (and most other LACs) want to see that you can do both sides of learning. But I wouldn’t worry too much about the grade you get in the “artsier” SATIIs if you are planning on majoring in a science; I had a 660 for Lit and I was still accepted. I think they sorta let my mediocre score slide since I’m going into science. </p>

<p>As a side note, your trip through AYF sounds AWESOME!!</p>

<p>The Wesleyan site says the deadline to request an alumni interview was December 6th. I missed it.</p>
