<p>Hmm… well I come on this forum and I’m completely jealous of everyone here. Either great grades/test scores, or great EC’s… I’ve got decent on both, but still not the ‘stellar CCer’</p>
<p>Background: Current Senior, Asian American (with dual citizenship), English third language, Headed to the University of Washington fall 2010</p>
<p>GPA 3.82 UW
ACT 33
SAT 2060</p>
<p>^Definitely above the average “American” but against CCers? I’ll think again before challenging one to a ‘random SAT question of the day’ competition or something</p>
<p>EC?
Club leader in a cultural club, I play varsity tennis, chess, and knowledge bowl for school. I play tennis for two outside teams. Did debate team but stopped to spend more time on my ‘varsity sports’ (yes, i consider chess and knowledge bowl = sports). I’m in NHS, and through that, tutor students grades 9-12 in AP Calc, AP Bio, and AP Comp Sci. I volunteer at my church, and a hospital. Did technology stuff but not a lot. </p>
<p>^Nothing like state champs, national champs, eagle scout (i’m a girl :D), winner of the national engineering competition, and such but more of the ‘in the community’ type extra currics</p>
<p>What doesn’t go into my EC’s to my apps is my hours and hours of playing xbox, wii, and nintendo gameboy… O_O watching TV, being online…</p>
<p>Although I am happily highly ranked in some xbox games
Colleges probably wouldn’t have liked that.</p>
