<p>Extracurricular/school involvement: NJHS, NHS, Treasurer for the Academic Team, designed shirts for the school plays, created artwork for school's fashion show fundraiser, Show Choir, HMEA (regional chorus made of kids chosen from various schools), art classes at a local art studio, choir (outside of school), participated in the Challenge Quiz Show (regional.... we didn't do very well), painted a school window for the holidays.</p>

<p>I am involved with volunteer work at a local church (I have designed invitations, stuffed backpacks for homeless kids). Also, I was the chairperson for the "Stuff-A-Platoon" Holiday Drive at my school. Additionally, I have sewn aprons for autistic kids.</p>

<p>I am applying as an art major, and have taken classes at Pratt and FIT. My work has been shown in various student shows at several galleries. And yes, I am submitting a portfolio.</p>

<p>Yale and Brown are both reach schools for me... I know I'm missing some leadership rolls and volunteer work, but there's nothing that I can do about it at this point. Chance me? I haven't applied to either yet, but I interviewed at Yale over the summer (it went so/so).</p>

<p>Sorry for typos/grammatical errors... also I know it's kinda jumbled. Thanks in advanced.</p>

<p>These schools will be very tough. You’re from an area that send lots and lots of applicants toivies. Lots of those applicants will be recruited athletes and legacies. You have stats below average for unhooked kids from overrepresented states at these college. It would take exceptional ECs to get in given your pool. You’ll get into some very good colleges, but probably not ivies.</p>
