How do I make my application stronger?

Applying to College

<p>Hi! I’m an international, studying IB… My IB-1 final exam score was 41/42 with 4 subjects on the higher level. My SAT score was 2010 (M-750, W-670, CR-590), but I’ve appeared again and June and do hope to get a slightly better score.
I’ve stood first in my class of 240 since the 7th Grade.
I’ve been a National Champion in skating since the last 10 years and have bagged over a hundred medals and a lot of overall championships trophies. I’ve also earned the most prestigious award offered by the state government for sports and the Best Player of the (National) Tournament Award.
I’ve represented my country at one world championship and two asian championships and have come back with two silver medals from the Asians.
Because of skating, I have not been able to develop interests in any other fields.
I used to draw and paint when I was a kid,having attended drawing classes for about 5 years, but I had to stop that to be able to excel at skating.
I’ve done about 50 hours of community service and have participated in minor events in school. </p>

<p>But that’s ALL.
I want to pursue my career broadly in Business or Economics. What can I do to make my application look stronger? As we can all see, it is very lopsided. I enjoy doing ANYTHING related to business or sports. </p>

<p>And I have faced a HUGE obstacle in skating and I was able to overcome that very nicely. Should I write an essay about that?</p>

<p>Please help me out! Thanks! :)</p>

<p>I gave Math I subject test. Scored 720. Math II-670.
Math II was a shocker. I had never scored less than 760 on my practice tests and was expecting a perfect 800. I shall be giving Subject Test Math II and Biology this October. Plus world history or literature, whichever I’m more comfortable with!</p>

<p>I think the current fashion in admissions is to go for kids with a real passion and not worry so much about well-roundedness.

Absolutely! Tell what you learned, how you improved as a person as well as a skater.</p>
