SUMMER:

2005:

-Soccer "teacher" (reason why teacher is in quotations is because I wasn't really a teacher. I lived in a condominium, so during the summer, interested kids joined my "soccer league" and I taught them some basic skills. I don't know if this is worth putting on my application though)

-Tutor (unpaid/voluntary in the same condominium. tutored 3 elementary kids, helping with homework, projects, studying for tests, and whatnot)

2006: Volunteer at Open Space Preserve Nature Center.

definitely worth applying. SAT scores aren't everything and even if you do not score as well as you hope there are ways to compensate; but keep in mind that a 1400+ will increase your chances greatly (the average accepted score was a 1390 for 2011)
