<p>Seeing all the athletes and bandos get into good colleges and have the all the recognition, I'm starting to worry about RO being an EC. Sure there's the in class component of it, but also, there are the team, leadership, and extracuricular activity component of it (APT, Kitty Hawk, ect.).</p>
<p>I'm a sophomore finsihing up my second year on colorguard (the ROTC one of course, not he band one; jv last yr and co-ed varsity this year), I'm the Kitty Hawk vice president (it's an RO academic league, we have competitions, tutoring, and do community service), and I'm a flight chief (2nd in command of a class period of over 30 people). I have numerous awards too: cadet of the month (out of about 200 in the corps), jv letter, colorguard ribbon, and 21 other ribbons (like superior performance, academic, good conduct, service, ect.). And they don't just hand them out. I'm on my 7th row, while the average sophomore 2nd year has around 2-3 rows. I also got 2nd place at the Golden Bear West Coast nationals and 3rd place at another competition.</p>
<p>Now don't get me wrong about being a RO nerd. I'm in the B-Boy club, psychology club, interact club, asian pop culture club, guitar club, red cross (sorta an unofficial, defunt-ish club, but with an advisor this year). </p>
<p>I'm of course taking challenging classes, including AP Psych and Honors chem. Right now my GPA is a bit low at a 3.6, but I'm bringing that up. Next year I plan to take 4 AP classes and involve myself more.</p>
<p>I hope to get into UC Irvine at the least. So what do you guys think?</p>
