<p>Summer
(I spend my summers in Door County, Wisconsin refered to as the cape cod of the Midwest)
Sailing Instructor over the summer at a fairly large sailing camp in Wisconson
Very Active in racing sailboats
-In flying scot midwesterns I got 10th out of 45 boats overall and 1st in the junior division
-Won countless series races during a summer racing league
Taught myself to windsurf and started a business teaching windsurfing with the ultimate goal of popularizing windsurfing so that I could expand the business to renting and selling windsurfers when I am in college
Wrote a ‘how to sail’ blog and ‘how to windsurf’ blog complete with videos
-made some money off that</p>

<p>Any essay ideas? - I’m a pretty good writer</p>

<p>Your scores/grades/ECs are all in range for those schools.
If windsurfing and sailing is such a big part of your life, why Brown? Is Rhode Island huge on sailing?
Essay-wise, you would have a lot of material with the whole sailing thing, but I would hesitate to overemphasize that.</p>

<p>Yes, Brown has a very good sailing team!
too bad you are not from Wisconsin instead of CA!
but would say you are a good fit!</p>

<p>Is Rhode Island huge on sailing?
Kind of begs a return question: is the Pope Catholic?</p>

<p>Yes, you seem a good fit. Make sure you include what you did for the community, whether through Key Club or other.</p>

<p>And, the essay should be a show-not-tell that reveals your strengths, how you tackle a challenge and evolve. Engage the reviewers.</p>
