A black Crimson?

Just a question - was your Self-Taught Quantum Mechanics research evaluated, supervised, or published by anyone? If you have been published, kudos to you, especially since that gives you a much better shot at H. If you have been supervised, I’d advise you to get a rec from that person, if you’re still on good terms (i.e. you didn’t break the most expensive piece of equipment in his/her lab :)). Also, I don’t think you should mention school awards (does anyone else agree?), since the admission officers can’t really evaluate them anyways. Otherwise, with a stellar essay, recs, and interview, you should have a decent chance.
