Thanks all for your outstanding comments.

I realize that my profile is unmistakably asian, but I would just like to say that I only do activities I like, which happens to be quite a spread. =D

I realize that my application lacks any major national competitions, and this is a major problem. I plan on submitting my summer project to ISTS and ISEF, if possible. Although I have tried to pursue these prestigious competitions before senior year, nothing has materialized…

Regarding the science/math rec, I am limited to six from my best teacher recommender, and plan on submitting NIH mentor recommendations where possible. Although I do have a secondary science/math rec, it will probably end up being reserved for safeties/schools I care less about.

Johns Hopkins I will remember that from now on. Thanks.

About my many of my passions (like neuroscience), my only regret is that I did not discover it earlier. I do plan on submitting my paper and/or abstract whenever possible.

Additionally, I plan on writing at least one essay on Odyssey of the Mind, as it is a major passion of mine, and is much less common in the asian population. =D

Thanks all!
