Chance me! Junior from Midwest, FRC robotics leadership, State music honors, trying to get into top 10 school for physics [MO resident, 3.9 GPA, 30 ACT]

Don’t waste your time. Just focus on the rest of your AP tests.

I would leave out the ADHD part. I would also limit the time frame covered in your essay to HS. Don’t write about struggles in 3rd grade or junior high, for example.

I assume you mean University of Kansas…that will be a safety for you, assuming it’s affordable. If you want other safety ideas you might look at ASU and U Arizona.

For the schools on your list that offer EA, I encourage you to get those apps in during that round (unless you apply early to a school that restricts other EA apps.)

Are you considering applying ED anywhere?

CalTech seems to be an outlier on your list…what appeals to you about it?
