yes, a strange request…just bear with me…
I have no desire to attend an ivy league school as of right now, i am more interested in the merit scholarships at schools such as Washu, Duke, etc.
Without further ado, here are my stats:
Chinese Male from Midwest
SAT: 2360
ACT:35
SAT Subject: Math II 800, Bio M 800, Chem 790
AP: Chem 5, Bio 5, Gov 5, Comparative Politics 5
UW GPA: 4.0
Rank: 3/350
Most challenging courseload possible (3 science classes simultaneously)

Extra Curriculors:
Chess: Ranked in top 30 in my age group in the nation (USCF 2001 for those who care). First in state individual 3 years in a row- Team got first place 2 years in a row. Before I came, we never even placed at state. Attended Denker tournament (national tournament for state champions) in 9th grade- placed in top 20, was awarded a $1000 monetary award for being the youngest player to attend the tournament. In general, i have attended numerous local and other national tournaments that are not affiliated with any scholastic organization, have accumulated about $6000 in prize money over the years (if that matters at all). Of course, I am the president of chess club (lol)
Lab Research: Worked in a lab at WashU for the past 3 summers (8 weeks each summer). Accumulated at least 1000 hours total (paid work). Currently am listed as an author in 3 manuscripts (co first author in one, second author in the other two). One was sent out a while ago but the editor found some stupid mistakes for me to correct so it might be kind of delayed…the other two are ready to go out now. Am working on a fourth manuscript that will be submitted to Intel/Siemens. All papers should be accepted in relatively good journals (Impact factor > 5)
Science Olympiad: Several awards at local and state levels
Beta Chi Pi honors society: pres
NHS: secretary
English Honors Society: webmaster/technical liaison
AMC 10: 126 / Aime 5
AMC 12: 108/Aime 9
Numerous math awards at other local tournaments, including first places.
Hmm that’s all i can think of at the moment…So please chance me on any merit scholarships at the level of WashU, Duke, Rice, etc and thanks in advance.
