Hoping to:
Start working as a lifeguard.
Get Duke of Edinburgh, but unlikely.

Certifications/Other:
Lifeguarding certificate

Wrote Pascal, Cayley, Fermat got distinction and won Cayley and Fermat in school.

Won Euclid contest, scored 64/100, would be better but I didn’t prepare for a valid reason.

CCNA1 certified

Comments:
I have 300+ hours of community service, about 7-8 per week.
I believe I show true passion for Math, CS is an interest I want to double major.
I am trying to go to Cornell, but am keeping Waterloo as my safety.

I am studying for the ACT’s, reason why I am not preparing for Euclid. And I got a 35 on the math section, will be retaking due to other sections, I will probably provide the ACT score.

What do you think are my chances, and how much scholarship so you think I can get? Can you grade my “AIF”. I think it is very strong, but would like other opinions.

Edit: Will be taking 3 maths, physics and chem, english, trying to take philosophy in grade 12
