<p>Sports-
Soccer- freshman team freshman year

also contacted the NYU coach and told him I would run for them. They're D III and I came in 10th out of 200 people in one of my championship races (so I told him that) and my PR was 21:40 (not a very competitive league, as you can tell). I sent him a letter saying how much I wanted to continue XC in college, as well as included awards I've won and my common app.
I also included in my resume that I run a lot of charity races.

<p>My application:</p>
<p>I spent a lot of time on my essay, it was about cross country relating to life ( I know it sounds cliche haha)</p>
<p>my short answers were decent for the supplement...</p>
<p>my short answer for the common app was about how my taste in music/ exploring and listening to new music over the past 4 years has helped me grow and become more open minded and has taught me things about different cultures, etc... I wrote this mainly for NYU because I thought they would like it for some reason.</p>
<p>Wow... that was a lot to write. Anyway, if you haven't heard yet, don't get down on yourself. That's obviously easy for me to say, but I really thought I wasnt going to get in and then I did. Listen to your friends/ family... not this board haha, because this board was the main reason I was absolutley convinced I wasn't going to get in.</p>
