<p>Wow, very unique candidate. Test scores would really help but other than that you're GREAT. You seem like a pretty strong candidate so think about applying early if your test scores are decent (and do it anyway even if they're not!). Figure skating, genuine volunteer work, good grades, cool languages, two instruments...very impressive!</p>
