| I applied to 16 schools and still managed to participate in all of my extracurrics. I swam varsity for my high school, practiced with my club swim team, played piano, volunteered, worked, participated in school government, had the hardest schedule out of everyone at my high school, and applied to more schools than anyone else in my home town. And yes, I did sleep. I couldn't have done it without my dad's help, but I only asked him to help me when I knew he had time. I knew that going to college was my responsibility, and although my parents want me to go to a great school, I needed to do the work to get in. I might be crazy, but it is not impossible to be involved in a lot of extracurrics. |
