<p>Demographics: White, male, Arizona resident, strong public school district (ranks nationally),~100k income, intended major is Econ</p>

<p>Numbers:
GPA: Unweighted: 3.628 (Upward trend, had a terrible freshmen year)

<p>Testing:
ACT: I scored a 26 (I know this is terrible, I had extreme anxiety); however, I have taken numerous practice exams, and I am comfortably going to retake the ACT twice more, expecting 30+.
SAT Subject Tests: Planning on taking Math Level I, Math Level II, and Bio. Expecting above average scores.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars/Leadership:
Site Counsil Position: Ran election, and won. Only one student was chosen. While on site counsil I met with the principle and board members every two weeks to discuss the well being of our school. To shorten this up, I had a huge influence and made my school a much better palce. I gathered students, and organized focus groups/field trips to different schools sampling their lunches. I then took the positives from each school (including student output) and translated it into our school's lunches. I also created a food counsil that now meets once a month discussing the quality of food, and ways of improvement). I worked with board members to establish a cafe within our school, ran by the students (cost ~30K). Finally, I also pushed for our school to landscape our campus, and make many visual improvents (which was sucessful).</p>

<p>Summer of Excellence at UofA: Took two college classes at the University of Arizona. Total of 6 units (English & Physical Universe). I recieved an "A" and a "B" grade in the classes. While taking the courses I lived on campus for about a month and a half.</p>

<p>Internship/Shadowing with Wealth Mangement Firm: My mentor was a credible man, he manages $100+ millions of local funds within my city. My other mentor was a portfollio manager of one of the largest banks in the country, he also manged large sums of money, but on a national scale. I made several suggestions and presented my own ideas towards allocation of clients' money. Worked with bonds/stocks/options/futures ect...</p>

<p>Volunteer Position at Pima County Attorney's Office: ~35 hours</p>

<p>Volunteer/Coordinator Position "Cienega Soccer Nights": ~300 hours over a spread of 3 summer breaks. Worked with young kids teaching them soccer.</p>

<p>School Soccer: 4 years (3 years on Varsity).</p>

<p>Club Soccer: 10+ years of competive soccer. Practiced 4-5 nights a week (took up all of my time). Was the captain of my team for a majority of that time interval. Team was ranked top 15 in state. </p>

<p>Olympic Development Program (Soccer): Played with the best kids in the state for a few weeks out of each year. Highly competitve. During this time I would have overlap of my club practice with these practices, and on some days I would practice twice a day.</p>

<p>Key Club: 1 year (Junior year) (No position)</p>

<p>Reccomendations:</p>

<p>Should be amazing. Will have either my principal, college professor, or mentor write mine. I also have a few others in mind. I have a teacher that takes great interest in me, as well as a soccer coach.</p>

<p>You need to find match schools.</p>

<p>You dont think I have any?</p>

<p>Your ACT is low, but if you can get it 30+ you’ll be in much better shape. Your EC’s are pretty good, so maybe that’ll help you.</p>

Wisconsin: High match (Match)
BU: Low reach (Match with 30+)

<p>Rochester likes to take students from underrepresented states. You need to demonstrate interest either by campus visit, or event in your state or alumni interview. You need to have very strong essays.</p>

<p>might look at Holy Cross-top25 liberal arts school 1 hour from Boston. HC is sat optional and has great alumni network for business community. HC is similar to fellow Catholic school BC but hc is perhaps more liberal.</p>
