<p>Hello, here are my stats. I want to pursue communications/journalism or business, I’m unsure. I used to want to be a lawyer, but I’ve changed my mind.
GPA: 3.75
ACT: 27 (I am writing it again, my goal is a 30)</p>
<p>ECS: 1. Riding: I’ve been horseback riding (english) all my life, and I ride 6 days a week. I am addicted to it. It eats up most of my time, but keeps me sane.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Green Team: I head my school’s green club and I’m really passionate about the environment. </p></li>
<li><p>Me to We: This is my school’s ‘social justice’ club, where I am the secretary.</p></li>
<li><p>Art Gallery: I volunteer at my local art gallery and help kids make art.</p></li>
<li><p>Mayor’s Youth Forum: With a group of other students at my school (and other schools in the area) we discuss ways to combat current issues in my city.</p></li>
<li><p>Grad Council/Student Council : I will be helping plan grad events and changing what goes on at my school. </p></li>
<li><p>Debate Team: I’ve been debating for two years, and I’ve competed provincially and qualified for the provincial team. I won regionals in grade 10.</p></li>
<li><p>BCYP: This is a non-profit charity that runs a youth parliament every year. Apparently it looks good on a resume, but I didn’t enjoy it at all last year. Should I do it again so I can list it as an EC or should I just not bother with it?</p></li>
<li><p>School paper: I did this for 1 year, but I didn’t like the teacher or the class at all. However, I love writing and still want to be a journalist. (Im a good writer the school paper was a joke). </p></li>
<li><p>Food bank: I volunteer at the local food bank bagging food and talking with locals in my community. </p></li>
<li><p>Cross-X running: This is just a hobby, but I do running races and run a lot in my spare time. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>Are these enough EC’s? I don’t have any ‘awards’ other than debate and a few riding ribbons. Is this enough?
My main college choices are:</p>
<p>In canada:
Queens
U of T</p>
<p>In USA:
Berkeley (its a reach, but my sister goes there, my mom went to a UC and I’ve heard
they want international students to help with funding).
Syracuse
USC
UCLA
North Eastern University
Pomona College</p>
<p>if these are all out of reach, have any ideas?</p>
