<p>I know it’s long and boring, but anyone who has the time/energy to read this, please comment, and make some suggestions to improve my college app profile! </p>
<p>And one last thing; I’m not a genius/super asian workaholic with no life (I did just spend my time typing this up, but I at least care about other things aside from schoolwork), so don’t suggest ridiculous things like taking 8 AP classes my senior year, or getting a 2400 on my SATs. Thanks!</p>
