Deferred

Stats:

SAT II: Chemistry - 740, Math IIC - 800

Other Tests (AMC, AP, IB): AP Government - 3, AP Literature and Composition - 3, AP Psychology - 4, IB Math SL - 7, IB Chemistry SL - 5

Subjective

Essays: I thought it was good. I wrote about how being an extremely low income family has made me who I am today. However, I didn't write about creating anything or any additional information because I didn't think anything I had stood out, now I regret that.
Teacher Recs: My Spanish teacher one was awesome, but I never saw my Math teacher's. I've known both these teachers for two years though.
Counselor Rec: Really good. I know my counselor really well and she strongly admires me.
Supplementary Material: None unfortunately.
Hook(recruited athlete, legacy, Nobel Prize): None.

Personal

Location: Miami, FL
High School Type: Huge public school, not competitive at all.
Ethnicity: Asian (Chinese)
Gender: Male
Applied for Financial Aid: Y

Other

Extracurriculars: Member of Mu Alpha Theta, Phi Beta Chi, NHS, EHS, Asian Culture Club, and Anime Club. I was also in orchestra and played viola from 9th-10th grade. I volunteered all summer of junior and senior year at a retirement home.
Awards: Math Award for every math class since 6th grade, Questbridge Finalist, AP Scholar Award, and most recently I got 2nd place at some regional math competition.
Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?: I'm just your stereotypical Asian . My SAT's are pretty low because I never really cared about Reading and Writing. I didn't study at all and the only thing I ever cared about my entire high school life was getting an 800 in Math. I might just do it again in January and study this time.
