<p>Work
Scoreboad keeper- for the youth basketball league
Private trainer- was to train some of the AYSO kids that I had coached who wanted extra help.</p>

<p>for the essays I have a question.
some people have told me to mention any problems I have had to overcome, and neither of the prompts really state that, so if I were to describe problems I have been persistent through would it be on the essay topic about how the world around you has shaped your goals and aspirations. Also, what if my aspirations were just to get to college?</p>

<p>You GPA looks good if it’s calculated correctly. Your SAT Reasoning is OKAY (a little below average), but your SAT Subject tests can use a little work. It seems like you joined a lot of honor societies, but have a passion in sports. Perhaps you can highlight that in one of your personal statements. Many people, on the surface, just aspire to get to college, but it’s what you’ve done during your high school years that tells the admissions committee why you’re special, what you can add to the school.</p>

<p>I really do enjoy sports and coaching.I like seeing kids learn and express what they learned into actual game situations. Thanks forthe help, and ya I know the Sat 2’s aren’t very good. I really don’t know what happened in Math. I had a friend a year behind in Math who beat me on math while I was in Pre-Calc Honors.</p>

<p>any more thoughts?</p>

<p>yea you should check to see if you calcualted gpa correctly. (4=A , 3=B , 2=C 1=D) you only get a max of 8 semesters (4 classes) for weighted classes</p>
