Extracurriculars: 7 years of 4-H (president/VP for 1/2 years respectively), 2 years of XC, president of Community Service Club, over 430 hours of volunteer work at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, at least 100 additional community service hours at homeless shelters/retirement homes, manage a classroom animal menagerie at the high school, run my own reptile education business. Also part of Science Olympiad, but didn’t put that on there since I only started this year (kicking myself over that!!).
Essays: Common App was about last summer when I planned a week-long field studies trip to Ohio parks for high school students, UNC supplement was a bit unconventional…it began with me out in the field catching a snake for a science project and morphed into my aspirations for my own zoo in the future. Idk, it worked! I’m a decent writer, both were good essays.

Really, I’d try to show them that you are ABSOLUTELY dedicated to one area. Do you have enthusiasm or passion for one particular subject? If you do, definitely emphasize that. They also gave me a lot of financial aid, so it is affordable and I will be attending!
