My most appealing EC is the fact that I'm on the Hollywood Board of Parks and Recreation (Hollywood, Florida); basically, I help decide how to maintain the parks and facilities of the city, develop city recreational policy, determine how funds are to be spent, and develop new recreational programs. I'm one of twelve members of the board, the rest of whom are adults. </p>
<p>I have a very good rapport with my teachers, especially the three I'm choosing to write my recs. One is a nationally recognized Mathematician who is the Editor in Chief of an international Calculus magazine, the head of my school's math department, and one of the nicest and most amazing men I have ever met; one is my English teacher whose background I don't know much about; one is my Chemistry teacher who worked for many years as a Chemical engineering researcherl all three are well-known for the excellent recs that they write. For instance, every student that my Calc teacher has recommended for MIT has been accepted, ten years running. So there's that.</p>
<p>Also, writing has been consistently one of my strongest academic areas. I feel that I'll be able to write as good an essay as anybody else.</p>
<p>I'm actively trying to get recruited to play soccer for Columbia (and a number of other schools), and I know that if a coach wants me, I'll be able to get in much easier, but I wanted to see what you guys thought about my chances if I don't get recruited.</p>
<p>I sincerely appreciate any responses, I know that reading all of this can be tiresome and most people wouldn't care enough to give their opinion.</p>
