ECs: Same as last year, just different with the Aquarium. I am now a diver for the Aquarium, and I am on the Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation team, as well. </p>
<p>…Writing is my passion, and it is my greatest strength. I am extremely philosophical, which is often poured out in my essays. My teachers told me that I wrote like an advanced college student when I was 14. If anyone would like me to send a copy of a writing sample, feel free to PM me.
I am also in love with history, and foreign languages. Those too, are my greatest strengths.
Math and science…not so much. If you’re wondering why most of my ECs are geared towards science, it’s because I love animals and marine science.</p>
<p>I plan on becoming a lawyer, anyway. </p>
<p>What do you think my chances are of getting into UPenn’s Summer High School English Academy? And Pre-Law for undergrad?</p>
<p>THANK YOU!!!</p>
<p>PS: My school only offers 8 APs!!! That’s why I don’t have as many as most of you on here.</p>
