ECs and Accomplishments:
-Varsity swimming: I qualified for Sectionals and States and was named a League All-Star 9th, 10th, 11th grade, and was elected captain for next year’s season. I also swim on a club team that’s one of the highest ranked in my region.
-Academic Decathlon: I have won medals in every competition in which I have participated and am team captain next year.
-Academic World Quest: Team came in second place in state competition this year; I am team captain next year.
-Model UN: I started my school’s Model UN club this year! We haven’t competed yet, but I think having started it looks good?
-Regional Advisory Council delegate: My state’s Department of Education has a Student Advisory Council program, where each school can elect to delegates to serve on a council that can advise the Department on school-related issues. I’m a member of my regional council, and the assistant communications coordinator.
-Volunteer assistant teacher in my town’s summer program for special needs students; this opportunity isn’t normally available to high schoolers and I had to seek it out myself.
-National Honor Society
-National Spanish Honor Society
I also participated in a weeklong Summer Institute in International Relations there, where I think I made a good connection with the professor who ran the program (he personally recommended that I read one of his books, which I did, and we talked about it and he suggested that I read more of his work and stay in contact if I had any questions), so that could look good?
How are my chances? Should I do anything to improve? Thank you!
