<p>Could you put pretty much in brief details of what you achieved in high school? I know it’s different for everyone, and it’s not all about academic , or just sports and all that. But I really want to know. Ex: Your Ex. Activties, classes, gpa, SAT test scores, other test scores, what you accomplished, honors and recognitions, and etc. (If you insist). Thanks</p>
<p>Activities -
4 seasons of cross country varsity letter each time, team captain as a junior
4 seasons of track varsity letter each time
4 seasons of Academic bowl - won KFSAC, 2nd place EMAC, varsity letters every year
1 season of Forensics - won KFSAC in impromptu, placed in dramatic rendition
1 year of the school musical on stage, one year back stage
Contributor to the school 'zine
Started the Film Club
1 year Show Choir</p>
<p>Classes - AP Bio 5, US History 4, English Literature 5, and English Language 5, was pre IB before we moved, and when we moved my high school didn’t have a gifted track, so I just too the APs that I could, 2 years of German, 3 of French, since my second high school didn’t offer German, only one semester of Calculus, that I got a D in, and had to write the admissions people a letter about. Other than that, the standard classes. </p>
<p>My senior year class schedule was pretty weak. I was in a very small private school, so they didn’t have a lot of choices. I ended up taking two art classes and 2 choirs and a sports medley as well as information technologies as a second semester senior. I was taking AP English, and French, so I guess that two hours a day of academic work was enough :). Either that, or 3.5 years of decent academic prep made up for the trash I did that year. </p>
<p>GPA - don’t even remember. 3.9? 8/108</p>
<p>Scores - (I test well)
SAT - 740/740
PSAT 80v/76m
SATII (I think)
Literature - 780/790
Writing - 730/750</p>
<p>Awards - Best student weight training (yes my parents were shocked), best student English, Falcon Pride, (school wide award, best senior, basically) Best female student Show Choir, First Place KFSAC Math, Distinguished honor roll for 8 semesters, NHS…Not high school related, but I did come out as one of the top ten cadet candidates at IAW the year I went.</p>
<p>Other stuff - Summer job at the Embassy which was a lot of fun, a service project raising money for the Red Cross, exotic appeal for living in Kuwait/other Army brat stuff, female, minority, senior nominee from the senior senator from Hawaii, although I got my nomination after I got conditionally accepted, so I’m not sure that counts for anything. Average CFA score. Some truly excellent essays, I thought. </p>
<p>I think my biggest pull factors were my IAW award and somehow I made a good impression on the director of admissions at the time. When my father came to pick me up, she was standing off to the side and asked “Which one’s yours?” When he pointed me out and said my name she said something along the lines of “Oh bzzzt! She’s a hoot!” I honestly don’t even remember meeting her, although I did ask for an application to hand carry home with me. I also had everything in the mail by October 28th, besides my math teacher recommendation (he wanted at least a semester to get to know me, and then I nearly failed his class), and my first semester grades. I got my conditional acceptance on 4 December and my nomination in February after flying in for interviews over Christmas break.</p>
<p>3 years on varsity cheerleading (competitive), capt senior year
2 years track freshman then varsity senior year, capt (more like in charge of freshman, but that’s okay)
1 year on level 5 All Star Cheerleading
Fencing- variable (our athletic director canned us every year by second semester, but we would petition and star anew, then get canned)</p>
<p>AP Bio, AP Chem, AHAP, EHAP, AP Stat, AP Physics C (the last one was awful). BC Calc for me didn’t count because I took it in cram school and did not receiving an actual grade or credit or take the exam. AP Art 3-D as the first test subject, was not permitted to take the exam because apparently it wasn’t an official program yet. At least I started something new in the art department at my school.</p>
<p>Summers were spent running with the XC JV team (I couldn’t deal with the 40mpw thing or the speed for varsity) and for varsity cheer I had cheerleading camp where I was nominated for All American the three times I went. </p>
<p>My CFA was…abysmal. Two words. Basketball throw. </p>
<p>I was given an LOA for 2010 contingent on my medical clearance which came in time for 2011. Rejected 2011 because my college experience was abysmal in pretty much all aspects except my lab work and ROTC.</p>
<p>If things don’t work out, don’t try to create something resemblant to your old life. It’s college, have fun.</p>
<p>i have 1 year of college under my belt but i dont think i was abysmal. im going to the prep school anyway mostly because of my ex. currs. in high school:</p>
