<p>Could anyone give me more information on this program and what my chances are of getting in. </p>
<p>Here are my Stats: </p>
<p>GPA: 3.95/4.0 Unweighted 4.25 Weighted (2 B+ and 3 A- both sophomore year) W/ fair amount of honors
ACT: 32 (34,33,29,30)
Recs: Great
Essay: Good (About being Junior class Co-Chair for school's field day, which is a big deal at our school. We plan coustumes, 8 foot square wood/foam banners, a dance/march thing, a floor show skit, class song and field events. We were severe underdogs and ended up winning by 2 points against the seniors. Effective leadership if you ask me.)</p>
<p>Here are the EC's i plan to use: (I wrote them 75 words to fit on the application)</p>
<p>Water for a Cause:
Founder/CEO of Water for a Cause: a Student run non-profit organization which uses a business style approach to raise money for the water crisis in Africa. By establishing a team of 6 other student leaders, and roughly 50 fellow classmates, we were able to launch a community wide home-delivery system of bottled water. As CEO I oversee every facet of our operation from Distribution to Finances. Year to date, we have raised approx. $3,000.</p>
<p>Forensics:
Sophomore year I joined my schools Forensics Team after taking Speech class as a freshman. I competed in the Sales Category, which poses an objective to sell the judges on your product of choice. At my first tournament ever, I didnt semi-final; however, Forensics quickly became my passion, and at the State Tournament I won the Class A division. I also received the MVP in Public Address, and the Best newcomer awards. </p>
<p>Student Council:
Sophomore year I held the position of class treasurer. Yet, this year I was elected Junior class Co-President, which has allowed me to truly take an active role throughout the school. Besides the usual junior class responsibilities of planning Prom and our Winter Formal, I have spent many hours on countless other school and community service related activities including a school wide charity event called Jail Day that I am spearheading. </p>
