Nice teacher Recs from my Chemistry teacher, English teacher (III and IV) and math teacher (calc AB and algebra 2 Honors). Generic one from counselor.
And for my greatest downfall… ECs
Blue belt in karate
Crapload of Community service: relay for life, tutoring elementary kids, working at YMCA, Habitat for Humanity
Participated on a Advisory Committee for traffic safety (very small group, 6 people on committee total). Presented our suggestions to city council. Got lots of recognitions from that.
-Math honors society
- honor roll all four years
- AP Scholar with honors
Work Experience
-cashier at my father’s convenience store during the summer - paid tutor for students from various high schools in chemistry, U.S. History, math, Art History, Spanish
Honestly, my biggest downfalls imo are lack of career/major oriented ECs and 690 SAT score (hoping math 2 score makes up for that though)</p>
