Personal Statement
My name is Sydney Schmidt, and I am from the class of 2019.
Academically, I would like to undergrad major in Biology, then go on to grad school and study physical therapy. I have a 4.2 GPA, an ACT score of 34, and am ranked 3rd in my class. I am very active in the community and volunteer a lot. I am also my homeroom leader at Bishop Carroll Catholic HS
I would love to compete in swimming at the college level. I am very devoted to swimming right now, and I don't plan on changing my mind. I've been club swimming for 7 years and high school swimming for 2 years. I want to be the best swimmer that I possibly can. I am a hard worker, and I am determined to swim my best no matter what it takes. In the 2017 high school season, I suffered a knee injury and wasn't allowed to swim for 3 weeks. Coming back was slow, but I was determined, so I still ended up getting 2nd at state. I continued to work hard, and in the 2018 high school season, I won state in the 50 free and 100 fly.
