<p>Hi!
So, this is my second post (I think I'm finally posting this in the right location) and I was wondering if you guys could chance me for Washington and Lee. I am very interested in this school (though I am applying regular decision because I still can not establish a top choice). My sister is currently enrolled there and really adores it. I visited the campus once and interviewed as well, so I think the school understands my interest.</p>
<p>I am also applying for the prestigious Johnson Scholarship (though I don't expect to receive it)</p>
<p>Gender: M
Ethnicity: White
34 ACT (35 english, 36 reading, 32 math, 33 science)
2220 SAT (760 CR, 660 M, 800 W)
800 chemistry SAT II
700 math level 2 SAT II
4.0 UW GPA, not sure what weighted GPA is on 4.0 scale
5 on AP Chemistry exam (only AP class offered at my school)
Ranked 3 out of 75.</p>
<p>Thoroughly involved in vocal music performance. Member of my school's choir, select choir, and boys octet. Frequent soloist in all three. Also was a two-time qualifier of NYSSMA area all-state choir with near perfect score in vocal performance. </p>
<p>Involved in school productions for every year of junior and senior high school (small, jr.-sr. school). Main lead for five consecutive years. Linus (You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown), Benny (Guys & Dolls), The Lion (The Wiz), Javert (Les Miserables), and Riff (West Side Story). </p>
<p>Class president for five consecutive years. Organized COUNTLESS fundraisers, dances, and other school events. Became president of entire student council at beginning of senior year. As president, I established a set of holistic school goals that encompassed athletics, academics, and charities for the entire student body to achieve. Organized a fundraiser that benefitted a local family in need, organized a food drive that donated approximately 1,200 food items to a local soup kitchen (spent 15 hours collecting food from my neighborhood with my wagon), and am currently organizing a fundraiser that will benefit an organization that provides for abused and neglected children. </p>
<p>Member of cross country team for six years. Captain for three. Individual state qualifier in 2009, first team small school in my league for two years. Devoted SO MANY hours to this sport, including waking up at the crack of dawn every monday, wednesday, and friday for early morning runs. </p>
<p>Member of track team for six years. Captain for two. School record holder in 4x800 meter relay, two-time nominated track team all-star, three-time sectional qualifier. </p>
<p>First chair euphonium in school band for four years. </p>
<p>Part time job throughout the summer since the end of my sophomore year at local convenience store (scoop ice cream, run register, and organize stock)</p>
<p>Member of NHS since acceptance in eighth grade. </p>
<p>Overall, I come from a very small school and thus did not receive the opportunities of other students who attend schools that include more honors and AP classes, though I did the best I could and completed as many high level math and science classes at my school that I could. My class ranking system is BOGUS (college keyboarding receives the same weighting as AP chem, and all my friends receive 100s. I chose not to take it because I wanted to incorporate musical classes such as band, chorus, and college music theory into my schedule and didn't want to take advantage of easy classes that did not interest me merely for the purpose of class rank.)</p>
