| lOngbOWmeN and serf- :>> Thanks a ton for your replies. Ermm... the performance part was actually my main CCA: Drama! (So, you guys suggest I just mention "Drama" instead of mentioning like every performance I actually staged.
And as for the top league univs (cuz my parents, for some reason, totally refuse to pay a dime for anything lesser than the CHYMPS or maybe something like CGM or Berkeley or Cornell or something of that sort.), what exactly makes you have the "WOWEY, THIS GUY ABSOLUTELY ROCKS!" factor? As in what kind of CCAs ol?
And I actually designed a company product-pricing software; so do you think getting a patent for it will help? As in, i did hear that some top univs do ask for "patents" and such.
As for the NASA thingy, dang! I really thought it was one of my top achievement, being a global competition. So, do you think elaborating will help or is it just an oh-so-not-required thing?
Basically, to be quite frank, my parents have just given me 2 clear cut options (why, i personally don't know, but yeah), either get to a top notch univ in the States or UK, or stay on in NUS/ NTU (which I really don't want to!) So, what exactly is required to make my present portfolio something that can get the CHYMPS and the like give my application more than just a passing glance? WHAT KIND OF ECs AND OTHER STUFF WILL MAKE ME STAND OUT? (get the desperation! =) )
As for the SAT, retaking it this June; which leads me to another question- Do the univs need my June Common Test aka Mid-Year Scores? cuz as far as I can see, my grades will be affected due to SAT prep and other CCA stuff.
I know it's a question overload, but would be great if you guys could help me out with it, cuz at this stage, I need all the help I can get!
Thanks again! =)
PS: As for the college... hahaha! Keep guessing, you guys are close! =) |
