Think about Loren’s comments about leadership- it’ not being prez of a hs club or a member, it’s the substance in your efforts, having impact. Going beyond what the hs offers, after the bell rings. With an interest in ecology and evolutionary biology, you should show something you’ve done that backs that up. The problem with a CR trip is it’s something someone else planned, you paid to go. Lots of kids do the CR trip and, though this may not apply for you, we’ve heard it is as much a fun trip as service. Very different than starting something grassroots. Or joining a local org and, over time, either rising in responsibility or creating your own unique role. And yes, you should show commitment over time.

Other than that, your stats and hs level of activity are good. So, think about a way to shine.
