<p>Subjective:
ECs:
National Honor Society (president): did a lot of tutoring last year, community service project collecting clothing for homeless, plan to do more next year
Mock Trial (captain): went to regional finals. Would have been top attorney but instructor chose seniors (it goes by selection) :/
Ski Club: purely recreational, though could make an essay?
Piano: 12 years, there are not many competitions around where I live. However I perform often for people, and I am quite good. I will send in a supplement.
Student Ambassador: act as a leader to younger children, get them ready for highschool, guide them around school.</p>
<p>Volunteering:
3 years volunteer at hospital. I will get a presidents award for hospital service. I have approximately 360 hours. I have also been recognized by many of the hospital's departments for my dedication every weekend (I show up alone and do all the work alone).
I play piano often for nursing homes- about 130 hours. I enjoy doing it for the people, it's fulfilling.
Some volunteering at elementary schools- 40 hours (not too much work here)</p>
<p>Work:
Intern at a prestigious research facility that is actually connected with some ivies. I work in the chair's lab, with all graduate students and postdocs, from ivies mostly. Will try for a recommendation from chair. I think I am doing pretty well, I was invited back for next summer. I went out of state to the city for this.</p>
<p>Awards:
A lot of school academic awards, too many to list
National Merit Commended
AP Scholar (Honors)
President Award for hospital
NLE Cum Laude
NLE Summa Cum Laude</p>
<h2>Poem Contest Semi Finalist, Poem is published</h2>
<p>Other:</p>
<p>Essay: probably good, I did a practice one for AP Lang after the exam, for the highest grade in the class. It was about piano, I sucked for a while.</p>
<p>Teacher Rec: English Teacher: excellent. really loves me.
AP US teacher: will be above average.</p>
<p>Guidance counselor: not sure. Likes me, but not a good counselor, so average-above average?</p>
<p>Hook(s): my family struggles a little financially. But doubt that's a hook.</p>
