LEE MUIR
Evanston,Illinois
Summary
A curious and versatile student with the ambition of excelling in my undergraduate experience, postgraduate experience, and professional career. My high school course load boasts 11 Honors courses and 10 AP courses, yielding a cumulative high school GPA of 4.32. I am grounded in a consistent and irrepressible love of learning and take seriously the world of ideas. Through networking and social media I have built a local barbershop business in which I have thirty-plus recurring clients. In addition, I have contributed to my school's newspaper, performed in guitar recitals for 7 years, ran track all four years of high school, and served as captain of my track team. Most recently, I was given a scholarship to return to The Great Books camp to lead as an ambassador in my third summer with the program at Northwestern. I am animated by the prospect of finding an edifying career path in your program and building meaningful connections with my colleagues!
