<p>Chemistry Olympiad- one of only 4 people in our grade selected to do it, we had taken the intro chem. Class pretty much, not AP. Needless to say, we got destroyed, but I think our group came in 2nd at states for our lower category</p>

-helped build dugouts at our school when we didn’t have any
-volunteer to deliver ice at our large local fair to vendors to raise money for baseball program</p>

<p>-Summer Baseball Team 9, 10, 11. This is my major summer activity for these years. Large time commitment, team ran from June after HS season to the middle of August, probably 2 weeks before school. Thing is, I couldn't really do much in the summer as we would have tournaments that would go for a week here, 5 days there, into the weekends. Most of these were in other states, and plus I had showcases that would run for a few days too.
Won 1 tournament this summer,
2nd Place in another</p>

<p>Volunteer at Habitat for Humanity in the summer a few times</p>

<p>I love balanced lists like this which make sense. There are so few here on CC! I think you’ll easily get get into Wes as a double legacy, though I’m surprised between legacy and bb, you didn’t apply ED.</p>

<p>Your big reaches are Penn and Cornell, you’re from a very competitive state and have no stand out EC. But they’re not impossible.</p>
