ECs: I am a swimmer for my high school and a club team and placed in the top 10 at states this past year for one of my events.

I had a programming internship after my freshman year for a telocommunication company, and this year I work as a tech intern for my computer science teacher. I am currently a lifeguard and regularly volunteer at our local American Legion post. I am in my schools auditioned chorus, where we have performed at state level competitions. Over the past 10 years, I have been a part of the local theatre company and was a part of around 20 shows, playing a main character in many of them. This summer, I will be attending the Naval Academy’s Summer Seminar and Boys State.

Congratulations on your accomplishments. It seems you will have good chances, but these are all very competitive schools, so it’s a crapshoot. I assume you’re applying to UMCP for comp sci as well? You may find more schools competing for you just below the top 30, like Emory or Clemson?

Yes, I am considering UMD, as well as UMBC. I haven’t looked at Emory or Clemson, but I have visited and plan on applying to RPI.
