ECs and Accomplishments:
-Varsity swimming: I qualified for Sectionals and States and was named a League All-Star 9th, 10th, 11th grade, and was elected captain for next year’s season. I also swim on a club team that’s one of the highest ranked in my region.
-Academic Decathlon: I have won medals in every competition in which I have participated and am team captain next year.
-Academic World Quest: Team came in second place in state competition this year; I am team captain next year.
-Model UN: I started my school’s Model UN club this year! We haven’t competed yet, but I think having started it looks good?
-Regional Advisory Council delegate: My state’s Department of Education has a Student Advisory Council program, where each school can elect to delegates to serve on a council that can advise the Department on school-related issues. I’m the regional communications coordinator, and a member of the Legislative Committee on the statewide council.
-Volunteer assistant teacher in my town’s summer program for special needs students; this opportunity isn’t normally available to high schoolers and I had to seek it out myself.
-Internship at a tutoring company in my town; I’ll be published as the co-editor of and a contributor to a test prep book.
-National Honor Society
-National Spanish Honor Society
-Volunteering with a presidential campaign

I think I have strong essays, and my recommendations should be good too. Thanks so much!

Are you interested in swimming at the collegiate level? If so, make sure you fill out the Recruit form:

Even if you are not interested in swimming, your stats and ECs are strong. Make sure your essays help you stand out/are not cookie cutter, but you look like the kind of student Wellesley would want.

Thank you so much! I actually just filled out the recruit form tonight, and I’m very interested in swimming-- Wellesley is one of my top choices because it’s one of the few schools I’m looking at where I realistically could swim (among other reasons of course, but it’s important!).
