Xander Nicholson ...Personal Statement
Xander Nicholson is a dedicated golfer and high-achieving student from George Washington University Online High School (GWUOHS), Class of 2026. Currently residing in Augusta, Georgia, I am excited to take my golf game to the collegiate level in the fall of 2026.
Since my freshman year, I've excelled as the top player on my high school team through the Dexter Mosley Act, competing in prestigious junior golf events like the AJGA, Hurricane, and GSGA - Varsity local High School. My recent move to Augusta in 2022 has allowed me to further enhance my competitive experience by just recently participating in regional and national tournaments. Despite being relatively new to the national stage, I've already shown significant promise and improvment in my state and national ranking.
With a strong academic foundation and a 3.97 GPA at a challenging school, I am eager to pursue another challenge with a STEM degree at a top college. My level of ambition and motivation highlights my overall goal of being a high acheiver in future state and national competitions, and my potential is only getting better. So, I seek a program that will not only provide me with an exceptional education but also offer a supportive environment for my continued growth as a golfer.
