Volunteers at school of underpriveleged kids
Held down jobs for most of high school career</p>
<p>For some reason it won't let me edit it, but:
I worked at Sprouts Grocery Store second half of sophomore year
First half of junior year I worked at Coldstone
Second half of junior year I was abroad so no job
This summer I've worked as a counselor at a day camp
And I also work at Smoothie King and plan tow ork there until I graduate</p>
<p>My volunteer work is every Weds from 3:30-5.</p>
<p>I'm def taking SAT IIs in a month or so. And thats good that 6 to 5% is the same. I hope 6% is high enough (my school is an INCREDIBLY competitive school because we have the IB program).</p>
<p>I am also semi fluent in Spanish and Hebrew and want to learn Chinese in college. I'd like to study International Relations and also Languages. I hope my passion for language etc shows through.</p>
<p>CC over-emphasizes EC activities and de-emphasizes holding down a steady job. I just read an article that Tufts (or was it Amherst?) views working applicants in a favorable light as opposed to those who "pad" their resume with small EC activities.</p>
