Athletics
Junior Varsity Miler
I play golf as a hobby, but have tried out 3 straight years for the Westlake team to no avail. I’ve looked around and any other high school in Austin would take me as a top ten golfer for their team.

Recommendations
First from a teacher who says I’m probably the best student he’s ever taught in his 15+ years.
Second either from my close Physics teacher or awesome Pre-Calculus teacher.
Counselor loves me.

Essays
I’m a pretty good writer with a very vibrant voice, and I have some good personal experiences to write about involving finance and Wall Street.

Internship this summer at a hedge fund or financial trading floor.

So what d’ya think?
