econ major t20 !

mixed male junior - econ major for t20

  • after next year: 11 AP's, 2-3 DE, 2 Self study (my school doesn't have macro micro)
  • every other course honours + never taken a study hall. UW: 4.0 W: idk
  • band since elementary (unfortunately didn't take serious, 0 awards)
  • 35 ACT (weak subscore) i might retake/superscore for a 36
  • class rank: i dont know ill probably be top 10% after this year

ecs (very lacking) (also my awards are in this section)

  • swim 4 yrs, (hs team + club), will be co-captain of HS next year
  • co-founder + captain of Vars debate team (we will hopefully qual nationals next month)
  • governor school this summer (might put it as an award)
  • little bit of volunteering (15h at an organization taught kids to swim)
  • lifeguard job (i don't work much but ig i could always cap)
  • chess club co pres (we've won a local tourney)

stuff I'm working on right now for EC's:

  • passion project being worked on (econ related, won't share specifics but its definitely unique and will be a bit of a surprise to an admissions officer)
  • possibly research at local uni or maybee my own research not sure yet (will be difficult bc of gov school this summer so i might have to do it w/o a prof)
  • hopefully internship (will be difficult bc of gov school this summer, maybe weekends?)
  • found a tutoring org for community service
  • possibly form a business
  • econ competition (im captain for it)

im mainly looking for some advice on my ec's bc ik theyre pretty bad. i didn't start trying until this year. on the ec's im working on, where should my focus be? (whats gonna give me the best shot at a school like Duke or uchicago)
