<p>ECs:
Track and Field: 9th-12th; I do triple jump and I throw shot put and discus. Unfortunately, I think this is the year I'll shine at state :( Last year I placed at district in each of my events but I didn't qualify to state. I now train year round for my events.</p>

<p>Capoeira: 9th-12th; a Brazilian martial art that combines dance, gymnastics and traditional fighting techniques. I wrote my essay about the night I landed my first backflip at capoeira. It draws an interesting parallel between the condition of the slaves who developed capoeira and the metaphorical shackles we bind ourselves with by lacking confidence.</p>

<p>Volunteer at Animal Humane Association: 11th-12th; around 100 hours so far</p>

<p>Internship at Sandia National Laboratories (2 summers) - worked in a group that worked on communications technologies</p>

<p>I forgot to say please :)</p>

<p>you're quite good, from what i can see...your SATs don't do you enough justice though, if you can understand my phrasing. are you planning on taking it again, because EA is a very tough applicant pool.
good luck</p>

<p>I won't be able to take the SAT again but I am taking the ACT for the first time on October 27th. I've been studying for about a week, and I will continue to do so whenever I have time. I'm expecting a 34 or a 35.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply!</p>

<p>well, if you do as well on the act as you hope, then sats won't matter...</p>

<p>I got my SAT II scores today:</p>

<p>800 Math 2
800 Spanish</p>

<p>I'm taking the ACT this weekend, hopefully that goes well...</p>
