<p>I’m also in the Science Honor Society and I am a creative writer.
I have my own music blog which i have recently started to spread music to others. I’m a very confident person who knows their strenghts and weaknesses and on previous interviews I have been told that I know how to sell myself for something I want. </p>
<p>Your grades are probably not enough for Exeter. You do a lot of community service, though, so it might even out (I don’t know how they weigh those.) </p>
<p>Also, it seems like you aren’t sticking with anything this year. Why aren’t you continuing swimming and golf? If I were you, I would try to get some consistency with my extra-curriculars. </p>
<p>What test are you taking? Are you well prepared? How did your interviews go (if you already completed them)?</p>
<p>Just be prepared to explain each of your activities briefly, but while still explaining what you do with them.</p>
<p>Good luck! Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions!</p>
<p>i agree with dramaswimmer, your grades could be higher, but its probably enough if you balance it out. you should also try to do something artsy or musical (apart from jewelry club)… do you play any instruments? draw? sing? You should also continue to play sports. </p>
<p>i’m part of my schools tenth muse which is the literary art magazine. &&i would take art this year but when i went to switch my schedual guidance said there was “nothing they could do”
but today i had my interview at andover and it went really well. the woman who interviewed me gave off a really good vibe and was interested in the other types of things im into (outside of school)
so with my interview going well and getting great recommendations, i think my chances have increased</p>
