[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gymnastics captain
AND Lead Cheerleader 
AND Math team captain 
AND Debate co-captain 
AND Faculty award for top student in HS

In at two of HYP[/quote]

Other than being good at becoming captain, I don’t see anything stand out in this resume.  Where is the impact?  How many times AIME qualified?[/quote]

DP.

It demonstrates a remarkably diverse skill set. I can’t imagine that schools see that combo very often.[/quote]

It actually makes it seem like none of those activities take a significant amount of time or commitment - which is odd, because I can tell you at our HS, it would be impossible to do them all together - debate would conflict with math team and gymastics, probably with cheerleading as well. You could do gymnastics and cheerleading for a different season, and maybe squeeze in math OR debate, but even then you would have to miss games, competitions, practices - which is really frowned upon at our school.
