<p>There's nothing definite at Penn and Georgetown is just as hard as most ivies to get into...Your definitely in at Vandy tho. 1600 hours of community service??????? Yea right....there is nothing you can tell me that will make me believe this...unless you are talking about lifetime commmunity service</p>
<p>people are always shocked with the community service part. but personally i have 1400, and i started mine in 10th grade pretty much, 1600hrs is normal</p>
<p>Getting comm. service is easy when it is something that I love doing. I don't even think of it as comm. service.</p>
<p>And yes Natalie is incredibly fast, fastest girl in our school, ever. I watched her do long jump one day after school and she got like 15 feet, smoking all of the boys</p>
<p>continuing on what dabird067 said, I'm curious as to what kind of summer camp you are working at. 1600 hours is a lot.</p>
<p>It doesn't sound right when you say <em>I "get" community sevice for all the time I spend with the kids</em>. Who "gives" this to you? Sounds like you do it just to pad the resume...I could be totally wrong just that is what it sounds like by the words you have used. Also other kids work in the summer because they need the money, maybe you don't. I don't see how that's such a great thing. I'm really not trying to diminish your summer achievement...just when you talk about "getting" community service credit it sounds self-serving.</p>
<p>"And yes Natalie is incredibly fast, fastest girl in our school, ever. I watched her do long jump one day after school and she got like 15 feet, smoking all of the boys"</p>
<p>She jumped 17'6.5" at the state meet :p. I doubt 15 feet is beating your guys, but then again, I know very little about the guys program at A-B, only about your football and how Mansfield never got a shot to play you guys in the past two years :(</p>
<p>Well I didn't measure how far she jumped, it could have been 20 feet for all I know, I just saw her do it and that's an estimate. I didn't see her against our best guys either. She's amazing none the less.</p>
<p>And I don't really know what you mean 2331clk. It's a YMCA Camp called Camp Lawrence on Lake Winapasauki in NH. I'm there my entire summer and I don't get paid so I dont know how that's self serving. I would like to make money but I do this because I enjoy it. I don't think I should just not right it in, I do it because I love it not because it helps my resume. However since it does, I should put it in to help it as much as possible.</p>
<p>EDIT
And I just re-read my posts and I didn't word that correctly. I was just saying that YMCA does credit me with all the time that I am instructing kids in activities during the day time, implying that I don't get credit for free time, obviosly.</p>
<p>Oh sorry nd32k3, I just read my post and it did sound not too nice. Good job and glad you like what you're doing. Agree with the others...Penn and Georgetown are too selective to make the call, you're certainly in the running. You've got Vanderbilt.</p>
<p>Just curious...3.6 gives you what kind of class rank?</p>
