ECE French V Honors (college-level French class, dont know if its similar to AP or not)</p>
<p>ECs, Awards, and stuff:</p>
<p>NMS- High Scorer, so far, probably will end up commended (only got a 205)</p>
<p>11th Grade- Harvard Prize Book</p>
<p>CT Science Fair- honorable mention 9th Grade
National History Day- Individual Documentary in 9th Grade, 2nd place at both regionals and states, competed in Maryland at the nationals</p>
<p>Chemistry Olympiad- one of only 4 people in our grade selected to do it, we had taken the intro chem. Class pretty much, not AP. Needless to say, we got destroyed, but I think our group came in 2nd at states for our lower category (I did really enjoy it, I think, so I always could like self study and do it again this year, maybe move on. If I got the right books, yeah, cause this year me and a friend got equal scores which were 1 off the highest of someone who had taken AP)</p>
<p>DECA: 11th and Hopefully 12th grades, business club. If I can do it senior year Id run for an officer position. At the CT CDC, won 2nd place in PMK division, earned a trip for the Internationals in Orlando, but couldnt go b/c I had baseball</p>
<p>XC: 9-12 Grade (Varsity 10,11,12)</p>
<p>A LOT of baseball related stuff:
HS Baseball (JV 9,10. Varsity 11,12) won best defensive player award, as voted by the team 11th grade
-helped run clinics for local youth baseball programs, 9,10,11,12
-camp counselor at a summer baseball camp, paid, ~20 hours a week, 2 weeks total, 10,11,12
-helped build dugouts at our school when we didnt have any
-volunteer to deliver ice at our large local fair to vendors to raise money for baseball program</p>
<p>-Summer Baseball Team, CT Capitals, 9, 10, 11. This is my major summer activity for these years. Large time commitment, team ran from June after HS season to the middle of August, probably 2 weeks before school.
So far this year:
Have won one tournament
2nd place at a tournament in Cape Cod
semi finals in recent tournament in LI
( played in national tournaments in Myrtle Beach, SC and Richmond, VA)</p>
<p>Other Stuff: Maybe tutoring summer baseball teammate in chem And stuff senior year. IDk, could tutor other kids, Ive got a study hall as of now 6th period. </p>
<p>Im open to suggestions, I can either fill that up with tutoring and stuff, or find another class, your advice might help. </p>
<p>Hopefully volunteering at a hospital this coming year, a lot more fair volunteering etc.
Maybe NHS, I dont know, they rejected me this past year, and a kid who was 3rd in the class, but who knows about this year.</p>
<p>Any other suggestions of stuff I could do, and if I have a shot at these schools, and perhaps even other suggestions of schools I could apply to? Location of school doesnt matter to me.</p>
