State: Florida
ECs: approximately 300+ hours of community service, over twenty five clubs, and I tutor students in history; I also am the assistant editor on our school's magazine, secretary in five clubs (SNHS included), and I have taken care of crippled animals for the past seven years. I am also sending in a writing portfolio, as well as an interest in their ballroom dancing section.

<p>I really would like to double-major in the Classics and History, but if that isn't a practical option, I will proceed to look into neuropharmacology. Also, how is their financial aid? My parents make around $70,000 to $75,000 a year. I am also applying to Vanderbilt, College of William and Mary, Princeton, Columbia, and University of Virginia. Please be honest.</p>

<p>Note- I disregarded a lot of ECs since I am writing on a very obnoxious instrument, so I will go into more explicit detail when I am at an actual computer.</p>

<p>Please tell me you didn’t list drivers Ed on your application…</p>

<p>FYI, the Y subforums with years are for the matriculating class to discuss fr issues. This entering class are currently srs and very few still frequent CC. You already have a relatively new Chances thread on the main Y forum, so this one will not be moved. Rather than start a new thread, bump your old one and add any new information if necessary.</p>
