EXTRA CURRICULAR: I have played the piano for the past 10 years and participate in competitions and festivals around San Diego County. I was in Varsity Cross-Country in 9th and 10th grade, and earned a varsity letter in 10th grade, but health problems stopped me from continuing. I also was in my church's teen choir 9th, 10th, and 11th grade. I am in my church's youth group. I attended a mock trial program at UCLA last summer, and have attended a local Christian conference every summer for the past three years. I am on Nordstrom's Fashion Board, which is by application only. I worked on my school's newspaper for one semester. I am also currently working on two political campaigns, and have put forth over 100 volunteer hours from it. In total, I have around 400 community service hours.
AWARDS: AP Scholar with Distinction, National Merit Scholar - Commended, Best Finisher Award (for cross-country), Varsity Letter award. I have won awards every year for being in the top 10% of my class. </p>
<p>My common application essay is on my passion for animal rights, and my supplement essay is on playing the piano and how it has made me grow. </p>
<p>There is one concern - I did take Algebra 1 freshman year, so my math class is not very advanced. However, I explain why I retook Algebra on my application (it isn't because I'm bad at math). </p>
<p>What do you think my chances are? I'm sure I have forgotten a few extracurriculars...</p>
