Possible research with the prof next year in Ochem
Essay Fodder: Mid way through sophmore year In Ap Enviro, I was talking w my senior friend and he told me about his situation and It movitated me to get good grades, that was a turning point in my academic career, but that year in feburary, i got a terrible concussion in a skiing accident in colorado which kind of destroyed my would be 5 out of 7 A's for that semester. I go on aventure vacations like climbing mt rainier and mission trips to mexico city n such. I seem like typical mudd student (I was looking on website of discription of mudders, and it stated that mudders are huge fans of wikipedia, that was an aha moment where i realized that i love mudd because i spend about 20 min a day just gaining knowledge from wikipedia)
Other Things (BS) Considered: White male
Suburb of Chicago
Middle/upper class
THE ULTIMATE REC LETTER from my chem teacher, she loves me, and I did extraordinarily well in her class. Also good rec from my apush teacher
If we have an interviewer, I will destroy the interview (in a good way)




Thanks for your input
