Volunteer
Over 200 hours at youth rock climbing summer camp
50+ hrs at school events, community stuff, etc.

My school limits the number of APs you can take, only one available junior year & my guidance counselor physically wouldn’t let me take more that three this year.

Worthy of mention -
placed out of freshman science classes and into soph/junior Chem H, so I was a year ahead of everyone else in my grade, ended up running out of in-school science classes senior year
currently writing a senior capstone-type paper on deforestation in South America (can I submit that as a research abstract?)

I had an interview a few weeks ago and it went spectacularly, especially for a natural introvert! My interviewer suggested that I reach out to the admissions office to ask for more information about the climbing team because she didn’t know anything about it. Do you think that would help my chances?
