<p>ECs:
school clubs: Do Anything Nice Club, Academic Bowl, Stock Market Club, Webmasters, Model UN, Spanish Club…a few others i cant really think of now</p>

<p>Sports: XC/Indoor/Outdoor…just a regular runner trying to get in shape…no recognition =(</p>

<p>BAPS- volunteer organization (religious/cultural):

  • main coordinator of all youth activities (almost like a big brother activity)
  • teach gujurati(indian language) to youth
  • teach/play tabla (indian instrument)…i couldnt do muchwith the tabla b/c orchestras/school bands dont have room for them
  • volunteered with this group since about 7th grade…6hrs on sudnays, and sometype of work during the week for about 2 hrs…soo, 360 hrs/year
  • volunteered in their medical camps (provide basic physical chekcup/bloodwork for those w/out insurance)…this upcoming year, i hope to volunteer as an ekg technician/ phlebotomist, as i plan to certify myself in those 2 areas</p>

<p>Summer:

  • CTY in chemistry freshman year
  • took precal to skip a year in math soph year
  • redoing my high school’s alumni website, and the shcool website itself, along with the classes mentinoed above
  • traveled to various countries (if that really matters)…so what schools should i look at??? i am going ED Brown w/out expecting much. others: Tufts, vandy, HP(for the hell of it), Lehigh, Penn, colgate, umich, uroch…add on please!</p>

<p>ED Brown: REJECT
Tufts: Maybe
vandy: Likely
HP: REJECT
Lehigh: In
Penn: UPenn? REJECT
colgate: Likely
umich: Likely
uroch: Likely</p>

<p>Your reaches are Brown, Tufts, Upenn, and Harvard, Princeton (that’s what you mean by HP right?)</p>

<p>^I agree. Big reaches. Your only ‘good’ ECs really are centered around BAPS, those are good. But you haven’t got much in school. You’re so uninvolved, in fact, that you can’t even remember which clubs you’re a member of.</p>

<p>Coming from New Jersey, I really doubt that you’re going to be a competitive applicant at any of these reachier schools.</p>
