Advice:
I'll update with my RDs, but if you are a fresh, soph, or junior reading this: PLEASE do not do things just for college apps. I think authenticity is the "secret" to college apps; do things YOU WANT TO DO and you will more probably do well in those things. Readers can tell if you really care about what you dedicate your time towards doing.

ALSO! Don't tunnel vision on getting into a good college. I led a very active social life and didn't care too much about school and ended up okay; don't let 4 years of suffering be justified by a college acceptance letter! Our childhood is invaluable and we will never get to be kids like this again, so don't waste it!
