<p>hello, I'm a male sophomore, running track and cross country, and i am hoping to be recruited to run at either Dartmouth, Brown, or Yale. Im curious to see how my overall picture is looking, including my extra curriculars. here's my general profile:
-4.0GPA going into junior year (took all honors courses fresh/soph years)
-in my highschool's highest band (will have done band all 4 years)
-will have done spanish all 4 years
-will be taking pre-calc and 3APs junior year(bio,eng,u.s.hist) and multiple APs senior year.
- track and cross country all 4 years. with multiple varsity letters. do they like to see that?
-i will most likely be captain of either cross country or track senior year as well.
any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
oh and will being in the highest band make a difference from lets say a middle one? would admissions know the difference based on my transcript?</p>
<p>If you want to run at Brown, Dartmouth, or Yale, why is this in the Harvard forum?</p>
<p>What events do you run? What are your PR’s?</p>
<p>my strongest track events are the 1600m-4:38 and 800m-2:03. but these are only sophomore times, and i wasnt training with heavy mileage or that much speedwork.</p>
<p>join some clubs and you’re fine.</p>
<p>yeah, i’m a leader of “the education committee” of an environmental club on campus. and i’m a member of delians, which is the honor society.</p>
What is the most interesting thing about you? The thing that sets you apart from everyone else at school? What makes you weird? Answer that question, and, in combination with what I know about you already, I’ll tell you your chances.
Community service outside hs. And something related to your possible major. I know you want to be recruited, but in case you’re not. Or they have lots of runners to choose among. Right now, all you have is running, running, band and one club. Ivies can ask for a sense you know how to branch out.
