SEAS/ Fu RD Application

asian male, extremely cool.

Columbia University SEAS for Chemical E. Not too sure about this yet... would it be possible to transfer to Columbia College after admission? Just wondering.


UW GPA: 3.904/4.0

Current Weighted GPA: 4.15/4.0 (only weight AP and honors junior year and senior year)
After 1st semester senior year, W GPA: 4.2-4.25/4.0

8 AP's, 5 honors.
Public, competitive high school with mostly asians. top 50 public school in America. Out of 500 students, school does not rank.

SAT:
single: 800M/670CR/680W -2150
Superscore: 800M/730CR/680W - 2210

sigh. terrible.

ACT:
Will take in December. Expecting 34+

SAT2: 800Math II, 780 Chemistry

AP Scores:
5 chem / 5 stats / 5 psych. taking chinese, biology, physics B, and Micro this year.


EC:
-Wrestling Varsity Captain
-Compete in Submission Fighting tournaments. This is a martial art, called Jiu- Jitsu. Won gold in various tournaments.
-VP of Martial Arts Club
-Track Varsity
-Church Youth Group Leader
-100+ hours , irrelevant
-Dental Experience w/ my renown family dentist. Interviewed him many times.
-Cultural Trip to China 3 weeks (will mention in essay)

WORK EXPERIENCE- N/A

-Won many grappling tournaments, wrestling tournaments
-Varsity Letters
-AP Scholar. Probably AP scholar w/ distinction or National after this year
-School does not give random awards. Must compete outside, which I didn't do =[

Recs:
1. Guidance Counselor - Amazing. Me and her are tight as hell and sometimes I'd talk to her about something not academic related. Homies. She has "profound respect" for wrestlers.

2. AP Chem Teacher- eh I did ok. Got an A then got a B 2nd semester. He likes me. WE are both athletes. Had 25 ED rec letters but chose to do mine earlier.

3. AP Stats: Bs'd this class and got A's both semesters and a 5 on the test. We are extremely cool and she is really really chill. I'm not too sure about this cause I was an idiot in her class, not being too serious.

-I'm very poor. Single parent, and she is unemployed too. Qualify for all fee waivers. Tell me scholarships I can get!

ESSAYS:
-Fighting / Wrestling / Mixed Martial Arts. i like it.
-Family, being first born son in a very traditional family. still working on it. my grandparents had 4 kids, all had daughters. and then my dad made a son. lot of stress. then my parents are divorced. so i live with my mom. trying to piece it all together.


THANKS!!! YOU GUYS ROCK.
