Thanks for the advice everyone, I just want to make it clear that I’m not all just math lol.
I also submitted an art portfolio (I’m pretty good, I’d like some feedback so if you want to see, shoot me a pm), and I’m a good writer so my writing sample (for andover) and ssat essay are pretty good.
I visit nursing homes with my synagogue, am a member of two service-oriented Jewish youth groups (no leadership though, it’s reserved for upperclassmen).
I debate (placed 6th at a big competition last year as a seventh grader competing against 8th graders), volunteered at a garden that donated to homeless shelters for a few years (stopped in mid-seventh grade because they closed), was in a high school play as a 6th grader (ensemble but it was competitive), and play ukulele, guitar, and piano (none of them particularly well). Also I bake elaborate pastries (wrote one of the essays for every school I applied to about my love of french pastries, lol). I swam for a few months last year but my mom made me quit because I lost too much weight.
I skipped 8th grade and did 5th through 7th grade online.
I spend a few hours each day watching my little brothers (one is 2 and the other is 6 months) and helping my other siblings with homework (9yo sister and 12yo brother.)
I have very little free time, lol. Am I competitive?
