Freshman-Junior year I have tutored 3 girls (2,5,7 grade when I started) who moved to my town from France. 3-4 days a week I’m there. My essay will probably be on my experience with them and how it has shaped me today.
School Newspaper (writer all years, Editor as senior)
Key Club
Lacrosse all years
Lots of Community Service through the community coordinator at my school
Summers going into Junior and Senior year- Summer camp counselor at the local day camp. </p>

<p>Recs-
I’m my Guidance counselor’s best student, so he has taken particular interest and me and will probably write a good rec. Junior English teacher and Junior History teacher will write good ones I believe.</p>

<p>I also may have the french girls’ mother write one. </p>

<p>Potential benefit: Brother graduate magna cum laude from the D in 2008</p>

<p>Apply ED and you have a shot. You won’t be rejected; you’ll most likely be deferred; but you’ve got a decent chance of getting in too.</p>

<p>Yeah, I figured no shot RD- If I apply it would definitely be ED. As a D Grad, I have a question. What type of person did you have write your peer recommendation?</p>

<p>One of my best friends. He knows me better than anyone else. It doesn’t hurt that he’s a very capable writer – he’s going to Yale.</p>

<p>That is quite convenient haha… yeah I’ve been brainstorming that so I figured I’d ask…</p>

<p>Anybody else care to chance?</p>
