<p>Work Experience:
I have been active in community and regional theater since 5th grade, have made an estimated $2000 dollars from it.
I have also had a job providing the english voice to Japanese animation series for three years, and have made almost $8000 from that
Luckily acted in a national commercial (which ironically was only shown once at 4 am) for Cellular One, made approx. $4000</p>
<p><strong><em>Normally I wouldn't consider myself a big contender for these schools, but this summer I am attending TASP (Telluride Association Summer Program) at Cornell University for six weeks, which apparently is the most prestigious liberal arts program for highschoolers (comparable to MIT's RSI). I think this is the one thing that gives me the boost into candidacy at Ivy Leagues.</em></strong> </p>
<p>I plan to major in philosophy and writing. In my application I will emphasize my writing accomplishments as well as Latin. </p>
<p>I would love to know what you guys think. It's so hard to tell where to apply now. If you have any other suggestions of schools to consider, please tell me.</p>
