I have never taken organized sports. (I bike regularly on my own though, does that count?)

BUT

I have a ton o’ EC with music:

Cello - principal chair in and out of school, went to state level w/ my concerto solo, won a little scholarship, school awards, always high marks for solo rating “program,” went to summer camp in Oxford, England and Eastman (School of Music in NY).

Piano - won many scholarships for music camps, attended Interlochen summer camp, high marks in another program, went to state level, music clubs, participated in festivals/etc

Also have 30+ volunteer hrs each year.

Fairly strong academics:
rank 3/350, GPA 4.2 weighted
SAT 1470 (M-750, V-720)
SAT II math2-740, writing-740, USHistory-630
AP: scored 5 for calc, lit/comp, stats; 4 for USHistory, gov’t/politics

I applied EA to Yale (grimace). Working on UofM, Cornell, Williams, and maybe Duke and UPenn.

My chances are…(do I want to know??)
