<p>ECs:
Marching and Concert Band for all 4 years, and the first 3 years I moved from the lowest band to the top band
National Honor Society
SHINE Catholic Work Camp in the summers btwn my freshman/soph years and soph/junior years (it lasted a week and we fixed people’s houses up, went to homeless shelters, etc.)
Cross Country my freshman year, which I had to quit because of band (6:00 am cc and 3-5:30 pm band do not mix) BUT i was immediately put on varsity and I plan to do it in college.
Track my sophomore year, only JV though. idk whether to put on app or not, but i really did miss running…
Volunteer work with church and also at stables for disabled/risk at youth</p>

<p>no leadership. yeah, i know it sucks, but i’m one of those introverted, naturally shy people who cannot stand speaking in front of a group… and i lead more by example than by fulfilling the obligations of having a title, anyway (might mention that somewhere)</p>

<p>Work experience:
Chick-Fil-A from December 2006 to September 2007
Best Friends Pet Resort/Salon from September to now
and I’m getting an internship at a veterinary office sometime this semester. I plan to get certified as a Level I vet assistant by the end of the year.</p>

<p>bumpity bump. i need some feedback....</p>

3

<p>Chances= Quite good I think - do you want to be in the marching band at BC?</p>

4

<p>maybe. dunno yet. i'm torn between band and cross country</p>

5

<p>are you being recruited by cross country there? because the ACC is a huge D-1 conference, and i think band is a little more lenient for "walk-ons" lol....but, then again, you could be going there on a full xc scholarship...just curious :)</p>

6

<p>I think you're in if you write a great essay. But just fyi, EVERYONE thinks their essay is exceptional. Good luck.</p>

7

<p>just as far as sat scores and gpa go, where does a score of 660CR, 710M, 800W (2170 combined) and a 3.9 GPA unweighted put me in the early action pool? thanks.</p>

<p>no offense, there's no way you're going to be able to run for BC having only run freshman year ( I ran all three seasons throughout HS, so i know a bit on it). but they have a pretty sweet running club (which i want to do if i get in), and there's a club for the boston marathon. you get a sponsor and then don't have to qualify for the \marathon, you get right in.</p>
