ECs:
School newspaper (10th = writer, 11th = entertainment copy editor, 12th = managing/copy editor)
Nat’l Honor Society (President)
Tutoring club for students at the middle school (founder and co-president)
Camp counselor for 4 summers (volunteered one year)
Summer homestay program in Spain (not a big deal, but some of my essays had to do with it)
Studying French independently
Tutor math weekly (paid)

Very good recs & essays.

I want to major in either linguistics, Spanish, int’l economics, or int’l relations.

…Do I have a shot at any of the scholarships? I haven’t done much research on this because Dickinson is not one of my top choices, but it’s a great school for what I want to study.
