<p>Fun little fact with my school- No extra points given or weighted GPA except for AP classes. Advanced classes and honors classes get no extra weight. Also, because im in CA, the budget crisis has forced class cuts, meaning that many of the classes i had registered for got canceled (namely AP French)</p>
<p>Extracurricular Activities:
Drama Club (9-12) President, VP, Treasurer, Stage Manager
NHS (10-12)
CSF (10-12)

Volunteering at Cedars-Sinai Hospital (Possibly, idk if i've been accepted yet)</p>
<p>Work Experience:
Working for my parents companies (Dad's since 5th grade, Mom's since 10th)
(And no, i dont get paid, but i still put in my hours for the family working in marketing and PR)</p>
<p>Awards: (No major, national awards)
2nd place at SoCal Regional Theatre Competition in Improv
Competed in several college theatre competitions for technical theatre
Outstanding Tech Staff Member (9)
Best Supporting Actor (Idk if this counts) (11)</p>
<p>Hooks:
I don't have any. I'm just an average white kid from a middle to upper-middle class town in America's most broke state at an average high school. Maybe it would count to say that my dad recently underwent invasive brain surgery, or that my sister is adopted from China? If not, then no hooks.</p>
<p>Recs:
1. Amazing. My Eng. teacher wrote one in 10 min for my newspaper app, and it was outstanding
2. Great. MY APUSH teacher loved me, and his letters have gotten kids into West Point and Annapolis.
3. COunselor. Standard. At a school with 4,000 kids, its gonna be impersonal, regardless of how many times i've been to his office.</p>
<p>So that's it. Thanks for reading and let me know what you think!</p>
