<pre><code> •Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Marching band (secretary, section leader), Concert band bassoon player (principle chair), Youth4Youth, Leo Club, Academic Team, Science Olympiad (Captain), Swim Team, Astronomical Society, NHS (VP)
•Job/Work Experience: Summer Research intern at the Cleveland Clinic. Orthopedics was really interesting! Currently a Research Fellow performing a study on children with Symbrachydactyly
•Volunteer/Community service: Part of ECs. I’d say that I volunteered about 3-400 hours, mostly through my Junior High School’s Science Olympiad team.
•Essays: EC was about my experience at the Cleveland Clinic. My personal essay was about religion. I felt that both were well executed and interesting. The second essay was extremely personal and its presentation was definitely unique.
•Teacher Recommendation: Absolutely fantastic.
•Counselor Rec: Didn’t see it. I’m her favorite student, but I don’t know if she writes the best letters of recommendation.
•Additional Rec: My Cleveland Clinic mentor. He’s a professor at Case Western’s Lerner School of Medicine and executive director of the hospital I worked at.

</code></pre>

<p>Reflection
•Strengths: Well-roundedness, Letters of Recommendation, ECs, and research experience.
•Weaknesses: Maybe my essays? They were immensely difficult for me to write, but I think they turned out well. Counselor Rec? SATs to an extent. (I probably should have taken Math 2 intead of Math 1)
•Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I believe I was an overall solid candidate who showed a great deal of interest in WashU.</p>

[</em>] Volunteer/Community service: Local Food Pantry (250+ hours, featured in local paper because of this), Tutoring @ Local Church (1 year), many other small, inconsistent events associated with Key Club, NHS, Falcon Ambassadors, etc.
[<em>] Essay: Nothing amazing in terms of the writing, but I thought the content was interesting and unique
[</em>] Teacher Recommendation: Just one from my Honors/AP Chemistry teacher; I’m assuming it was a typical teacher rec, as she didn’t know me too well outside of class, but I did very well during both of the years I had her as a teacher
[<em>] Counselor Rec: I’ve known him since middle school, and have consulted him frequently throughout my four years of high school; I’m sure it was quality
[</em>] Additional Rec: One from the athletic trainer at school; I think this is the one that broke the ice; I’ve dedicated over 20 hours/week for the past three years to the program, and we’ve developed a very intimate relationship
[<em>] Interview: Very nice, quiet interviewer; the interview lasted for an hour and forty-five minutes, and we exchanged quite a few emails afterward; I thought it went well
