Ballet for 11 years at one studio: Accepted into top ballet schools in the nation to stay year round. Refused so I could study.
Internship at The Aerospace Corporation. I am the first high school student to be working with my particular mentor. He usually works with Graduate and PhD students. I'm doing a project a graduate level student would do, and after I'm done, I might get published depending on my results and how well I write my report.
Ballet: Teacher Assistant and Rehearsal Assistant because I am currently severely injured and unable to dance, but I wanted to be a part of the Nutcracker and I couldn't bare not being at the studio. Wrote my essay about this.

<p>Hooks:
Internship at The Aerospace Corporation as a high school student. Dedication to ballet and science. I spend A LOT of time at ballet, like fourteen hours a week when I was still dancing. I'm not quite sure what else.</p>

<p>Major / Interest
I put down my major as mainly chemistry, physics and engineering. I also showed an interest in getting involved with each of the schools ballet programs. I specifically choose the schools for having either a ballet program or being near a ballet studio. </p>

<p>I would really appreciate if I would be chanced for Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Duke, Stanford, Vassar, Hamilton, Brandeis, Northwestern, Williams, UCB, UCLA, UCI, UCD, UCSD. Thank you very much for your time.</p>

<p>Please? I’m really desperate. Oh but I’m just being impatient here. =)</p>

3

<p>Not sure of SAT scores, but I have a hard time imagining there are more qualified people attending these schools. I go to a school where 6-15 kids go to YPH/Stanford and I believe you are more qualified then each of them.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>You are obviously a very solid applicant who has great stats and resume. HYPS are hard to predict since these are some of the most selective schools in the country. You certainly have a realistic shot at your top schools. I am a little surprised that you don’t have some (slightly) less selective “Ivy” schools on your list, as well as perhaps Rice and WashUStL…</p>

5

<p>I can’t imagine a single school you wouldn’t get into.</p>

<p>Thank you everyone for such kind words!</p>

<p>Quite honestly, The less selective Ivys, I visited them and for some reason, they didn’t click with me. I was hesitant to visit Harvard, Yale and Princeton, but for some reason, those were the ones I fell in love with. The schools I thought I would love, ended up not being that and the ones I wasn’t going to visit, ended up being my favorites. I just HAD to pick those three, right? =)</p>

<p>hey haha thanks for chancing me. i think you should pretty much get into all of those. what the person said about my thread about usually only getting into 1 of the 3 top UCs doesnt seem THAT true. i mean perhaps it may occur but im sure youll get in everywhere! see you at ucla?!?!?</p>

8

<p>Haha we’ll never know! Just maybe! =) Good luck with everything!</p>

<p>I think you’re set for UCs, Vassar, Duke, NU, and Brandies. HYPS and Williams are too hard to predict, but you’re def in the running. Good luck :)</p>
