Summer
2016- IUPUI Youth Innovators Quest

2018- IUPUI Social Justice Camp

2019- will be going traveling to Egypt & refining my Arabic writing & speaking abilities

I’m also an OOS student from Fishers, Indiana and hope to apply to early action.
I’m aware that my qualifications aren’t great because I’ve had some at-home troubles with my life, however, if you have any recommendations on how to vamp up my application, please tell me so. Or if it’s not even worth the application, also tell me so.

Yale or GT?

In either case, your standardized test scores would need to come way, way up for either school.
