I dont really have any ECs inside school, other than Orchestra since freshman year, which doesnt really matter that much.
I do most of my EC’s at my church-
Choir
Praise Team
Officer- jr. Sec- 9th, Sec- 11th, President-12th
Fundraisings for various mission trips, Medical trips, etc…
Went on a Mission Trip to Peru-9th grade
This summer i’m gonna be going to Korea for about 3 weeks, and i am gonna be volunteering at a hospital/ Shadowing an orthopedic surgeon for prob 40-70 hours, depending on the effects of Jetlag, visiting family, etc…
When i come back, I’m going to be working in NYC volunteering at hospitals/ possibly shadowing a dermotologist and a dentist, for approx. 50-75 hours.
During my senior year, i may possible be shadowing a cardiologist/volunteering at a hospital for 10-15 hours.</p>
<p>Recommendations:
Will probably be average to above-average</p>
<p>Colleges in no particular order:
Temple
PSU
UDelaware
Rutgers
UConn
BU or BC
NYU
Villanova
Drexel
Wheaton
UCI
UCD
UCSB
UCSD
UCR
UMaryland</p>
<p>As you can tell, a lot of my application is pretty weak, but i would really appreciate it if you could completely honest with this. I know that my stats are pretty bad, but I would rather have the truth than false hope. Also if you guys have any other college suggestion, please feel free to let me know. Thanks.</p>
