Here’s an applicant for you! Applying EDII. I was going to apply EDI to University of Richmond, but decided against it after they raised their tuition by $8,000! I visited Princeton, Georgetown, U. Richmond, W&L, Duke, William & Mary, and UVa last April. I fell in love with W&L instantly. The school just gives me a really good feeling, and a lot of that comes from the Honor System.

Here are some stats, for those interested:
SATI: M: 710 V: 700
SATII: Writing: 780 Literature: 650 Math1C: 650
ACT: English: 33 M,R,S: 28. Composite: 29 (only took once… could definitely have done better, but oh well.)
3.6 unweighted GPA, in all Honors and AP classes.

EC’s/awards:
Running my own computer repair business
Music (play piano, bass guitar, guitar, trombone)
Photography (incl. various awards)
Volunteering (incl. spending all next summer in Guatemala City with the Safe Passage program [www.safepassage.org])
Math team (Co Captain)
Debate team (Co Captain)
“Inkwell” (Student literary magazine)
Varsity Baseball, Golf, Alpine Skiing
Won 8th grade district spelling bee
Elected to Verizon’s “Leaders of Tomorrow” by my business teacher and invited to semiannual “Eggs and Issues” breakfast.

Oh yeah, and I’m from MAINE! I don’t think they get too many lobstah-eating applicants…

If anyone who’s been accepted in the past would like to comment on my chances, that would be great!
