<p>Well my main focus has been my saxophone, I just listed everything really. I am not just going to leave something out because you personally view it as unimportant, it asks for all AFTER school activities. So yes, dog sitting is a job. I do piano on the side, and I take guitar just for fun. That is all clear on my actual app. Varsity skiing was Freshman year before I switched schools, and I skiied for my mountain team on the weekends. That clear anything up for you? </p>
<p>On the essay - it is completely mine. It was not re-written at all. These friends just helped me chose an appropriate topic, and I did the writing completely by myself. The corrections they made were very minor. But they both thought it was really good and my english teacher really liked it as well. </p>
<p>And did I not say this was a reach? I know it is a reach but saying blanket statements like “you have no chance at all” is not helpful. I know my test scores are the weakpoint here. Technically, they are within the middle 50th percentile, however. So now that I have clarified a few things, anyone else?</p>
