Senior YR: Prez debate team, and our season starts too late for it to impact Apps, but will be starting a program to recruit and train middleschoolers in debate.</p>
<p>Spanish Club (9-12) prob'ly secretary or VP next year, but it's not a big deal really.</p>
<p>Ultimate Frisbee Club (11-12): Founder and VP Junior Year, Prez Senior Year, helped set up a tourney which attracted 30+ kids for Disc Golf.</p>
<p>Choir (9th, 12th): Didn't do it the whole way through b/c of scheduling.</p>

<p>Jobs: Not much, but summer/occasional/part time on a ranch that I love and will most likely be writing essays about.</p>
<p>Recs: Expecting 1 Really Good from my English teacher/NHS advisor, 1 Good from my AP Phys, and I'm not sure on the Counselor, cuz we're getting a new one in the fall, which I'm not a fan of, but w/e, I'll prob'ly get a decent rec at the very least. </p>
<p>Essays: Here's where I think I can shine. Dad's a writer, and I'm going to be putting full force into my essays basically the moment I get the Apps. I have a couple unique things, like my ranch work that I could mention, but like I said, expecting really good essays.</p>
<p>Legacy: Aunt and Uncle both attended Stanford, brother currently at Yale.</p>
<p>Chances?</p>
