Chancez-moi, s'il vous plait!

Hey guys, lavish praise on me!

Schools:
Aaron Burr Prepatory Elementary School ; top of my class, my first A was an 97 in Finger Paint
Wilson Lakes Prep School (6-12)

Rank:
1/ 200
(Parents withheld food if I ever got below a 95, luckily that only happened once!)

GPA:
4.78 Weighted, you don't want to know what is unweighted LOL.

SAT and ACT:
The first time I took the SAT, I didn't get a very good score (2380), so I took it again and bumped it up to a 2410. Thank God for re-takes! My ACT was a measly 35. I plan on re-taking in hopes of a 36.

ECs:
- I helped partcipate in the rescue of the FARC-held hostages in Venuzela. It was a really cool thing to do because I wasn't doing anything else with my summer (well, I was taking International Finance Theory at Boston University, but that was eaaaaaaaaasy lol). Francis Betancourt was really sweet, and she said she'd write me a reccomendation letter!

- I dug ditches for a Malawian village, so now the womenfolk don't have to walk 10 miles a day to fetch water. Of course, it helps that my uncle has import-export buisness associates in Lilongwe.

- Helped with copy editing for my aunt, when she decided to release a newly re-translated Proust's Jean Santeuil. Did I mention I'm fluent in French?

- I have earned 34944 hours of community service. Just by being in my presence I am doing the community a service. I try to help the poor unfortunate souls who wallow ignorantly in their pathetic metiocrity.

Sports:

-I've been the 4 year starter at Quarterback for my high school. I've been the offensive captain since I was a sophomore. I passed for 5000 yards and 54 touchdowns with 1 interception as a senior (the reciever dropped my perfect pass). I also played some safety, but that was only in emergency situations. I picked off 11 passes.

Hook:
- Well, my dad IS an alumni at Yale. Thank GOD for legacy admits!

- I am a major WASP. I'll be adding diversity to Yale!

Backups:
- Columbia
- Case Western
- Harvard
- New England Bible College

I am really unsure and insecure about myself, so I need to flaunt my overblown and riddiculous "stats" on a website. Please chance me! Please! Thanks a bunch!

lol, Aaron Burr and finger painting.

Good stuff.

But, yeah, I'd say high high reach for all, really, I'd suggest going to a community college, if anything at all.

Maybe try a for-profit college?

the fact that you're simmering in envy is not at all conspicuous in your sarcasm...

Too bad the hostages were in Colombia, and you met Ingrid Betancourt. However, you can write an essay about your memory loss.
