Teaching (lumped as 1 significant experience) 1. After-school tutor during high school (2 years - 10hrs/week) 2. Independent SAT math tutor (1.5 years - 4hrs/week) 3. University biology tutor (1.5 years - 6hrs/week) 4. SAT/AP prep instructor (4 months - 12hrs/week)
Community Service 1. Through my fraternity and various clubs (3.5 years - 3hrs/week) 2. Book drive I created
Lab/Research 1. Lab assistant (3 months, current - 40hrs/week)
Leadership 1. Community service chair for my fraternity (1 year - 4hrs/week)
Awards 1. University community service award 2. fraternity award
Misc. 1. EMT-B training... haha, waste of time to be honest 2. Program for free SAT prep and college admissions counseling (currently in the works) 3. Hobbies: photography, hiking, running
Honestly, do what you love and love what you do. My lack of research will probably keep me from acceptance to some prestigious programs... but I really didn\'t want to spend 20hrs/week in a lab during undergrad just to have my name on a piece of paper... But sadly, I currently spend 40hrs/week in a lab doing even more boring things and won\'t even get my name on a piece of paper... but you gotta eat haha...
