Sister and I started our own day horse camp at our house for fellow homeschooled children and friends. Taught riding lessons, did barn chores with the kids, swimming, crafts, and games. This was our first year and had two camps with 8 and 9 campers respectively. Ever since then we have had three camps with 8-16 campers in each.
Helped with the restoration of an 18th century barn. This barn is now a bit of a ''landmark'' in my small new england town as is used as a town rec center. My name is on the plaque on display with the list of volunteers who helped out. </p>

<p>10th
Played violin
Played rec league softball -made it to the championships

Played violin
Joined a baroque ensemble (flute, harpsichord, and me with the violin) for a semester. Had recital at the end.
Equestrian activites
Church choir
Horse Camp again
Attended the US government/history camp again. Placed as an "Advanced Camper" due to scoring above a 90% on the entrance exam. Was one of the top three female scorers on the exit exam.
Volunteered at a senior housing center. Made luncheon meals for 10 to 20 seniors once a month. My sister and I planned and executed all by ourselves.</p>

<p>12th
Equestrian activities
Church choir
Horse camp again
Attended the camp again. Again was advanced camper and top three scorers.
Organized luncheons at the senior center again.
Volunteerd with with a US Senate campaign. Attended the campaign party, was able to get to know the candidate.
From Nov. 2009 to May 2010, my sister and I basically ran our own boarding farm business. We leased a barn with an indoor arena (so that we could ride during the winter) for four of our own horses, and brought in three to four other paying boarders to help cover some of the expenses. Had to take care of all these horses 4 times a day as well as do our senior year of school. Had to deal with feed vendors, veterinarians and boarder clients. </p>

<p>Will have a letter of rec from my highschool math and physics tutor as well as letters from my intro to business CC professor and my accounting 1 CC professor. I will also have a letter of recommendation from a Holy Cross alum who is now a head surgeon and is on their athletic hall of fame. (hook?)</p>

<p>For my CC classes, I am taking 5 classes over there as a freshman, though I will be applying as a freshman for next year so won't be transferring. I don't know what my GPA is as they don't release that info till the end of the semester, but I would be extremely surprised if I have less than an A average in any of the classes. Have had the majority (Like 85%) of my all graded work graded as an A. All tests and midterms have been As except for 2 B+'s on one quiz in Intro to Business and Intro to Computers. </p>

<p>Also, while I am at the CC, I was just elected the secretary officer of Phi Beta Lambda (a national business organization for college students. Group and charity fundraising oppurtunities.) In addition to that, I have been helping tutor a fellow Accounting I student. I will also start tutoring weekly a fellow homeschooler in highschool freshman biology sometime very soon. </p>

<p>I am applying ED to Holy Cross; EA to Assumption, maybe EA to BU, not sure yet, and regular to UNH (my safety).
I have had an interview at HC and Assumption (my top schools) and both admissions officers were really impressed and enthusiastic about my slightly unorthodox education. Assumption admissions said I would most likely be eligible for a lot of merit scholarships.</p>

<p>Just some Info about me:
White
Female
Graduated as only a 16 year old (didn't turn 17 till the end of august. Don't really know if that matters though, haha)
New England residents
My sister and I are going to college at the same time, so our EFC will be split.
130,000-180,000 income, not adjusted for taxes or anything. My dad is the president of his incorporated business, so his salary fluctuates depending on how the company is doing.
EFC will definitely be more than 10,000 but hopefully less than 20,000, as there will be two of us going to college at the same time.
I want to become a dentist, so I will get involved with a predental program, however as there is no set major for that, I would like to major in business/economics.</p>

<p>So, if you've read alll of that ;) , what are my chances?</p>

<p>Also, forgot to mention. For the past two summers and school breaks, I’ve worked at my dad’s office. I’ve been basically been assistant to his office manager; helping with answering calls and taking messages from clients, prospective clients, vendors, employees etc. Became quite proficient with excel as I had to use it often to create proposals, contracts, invoices. Helped with filing and marketing plans, and of course helped supply coffee to the other office employees ;)</p>

<p>Good shot at HC. the rest should be safeties.</p>

<p>Agree with 1980collegegrad. Fordham might be worth a look also. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for your input. HC is really my dream school and would loove to go there. I haven’t really looked at Fordham as I want to stay in the MA/NH region. Any suggestions for other pre-dental/pre-med schools in that area?</p>

<p>Tufts is very good.</p>

<p>I agree re Tufts. Assumption is a safety school next to the others and not as rigorous.
My daughter (for the moment) is doing a business/economic track, might change, and loves HC.
I wish you much luck wherever you end up. You sound like a great applicant.</p>
