<p>Again, so far, all A's, except 1 A- in Algebra II (92.9!) My schedule is the most demanding the school offers. I will have taken all of the honors/AP classes offered at my school once I am done.</p>

<p>ECs:
Speech and Debate (Vice Captain Junior year, Captain Senior Year. Numerous awards, including many firsts at statewide tourneys. Been to 5 weeks of debate camp so far. Will be competitive on the national "TOC" circuit. Ive broken at tournaments like the Glenbrooks and New Trier. Went to nats sophomore year, going again this year. Over 1300 NFL points. 2nd at state in Policy Debate, 4th in extemp, 3rd in prose reading. I also taught a debate course at the local middle school. My essays will probably revolve around debate. I also spent 7 weeks at the University of Michigan for debate camp last summer.)

Math Honor Society (President)
National Honor Society
Academic Challenge (Regional, televised, brain bowl competition. We were champions this year)

<p>Awards:

Again, over 30 specific debate awards</p>

<p>Recs:
Should be above average. One is from my AP Comp teacher, who gave me student of the year and constantly encouraged me to publish my writing. The other is from my AP Gov teacher and I was a pretty strong/active student in his class. Plus, government is just kinda my thing.</p>

<p>I am also applying to:
Harvard
Standford (EA)
Vanderbilt
Emory
Georgetown
Princeton
Whitman
Williams
and some safeties</p>

<p>Almost certainly in RD at Dartmouth - NW is underrepresented, great stats and ECs. Not sure about ‘Standford’ EA though…</p>

<p>hahah you’d think I would have typed that word so many times by now I’d get it right. I’m a legacy at Stanford though, so maybe that will give me a boost.</p>
