<p>Extracurriculars:</p>
<p>-Mock Trial (10,11,12): President 11,12. I put a HUGE deal of emphasis on mock trial on my applications
-NHS (10,11,12): President 12. Tutoring Coordinator for the entire school. Managed logistics of matching up students and tutors and tutored quite a bit myself
-Hi-Q (12): Essentially quiz bowl. Didn’t do it to ‘pad’ my resume; I enjoy the trivia based challege. ![]()
-Violin since 6: blah blah. I really didn’t put any emphasis into this fact, as violin has become a lot less important to me over time. I mentioned it, nonetheless as it does show dedication, perhaps.
-Environmental Club (11,12): I like the earth.
Volunteered cleaning up the school. Pertains to my interest in chemical engineering. (finding solutions to the crap hole we call earth)</p>
<p>Volunteer/Work:</p>
<p>-Volunteered at a day camp over the course of three summers (750+ hours)
-Tutor underprivileged (essentially homeless) students foundations for music through an outreach program (100+ hours)
-Tutoring via Tutor system: peer tutoring, pretty self explanatory (50+ hours)
-Worked full time during the summer at the same day camp I volunteered at in previous years.</p>
<p>My profile is pretty slim, I know. In a way, I almost want it to be short. My only real passion outside of the classroom was mock trial, and I made sure that dedication came through in supplements. </p>
<p>Other things:</p>
<ul>
<li>Recommendations: All of them should be amazing, especially the counselor rec. One from my AP Calc AB teacher, other is from AP Chem’s teacher.</li>
<li>Essays: My common app essay talks about my academic individuality (which is important to me)</li>
<li>The supplement essays all tend to revolve around balancing left and right brain thinking. </li>
<li>Hooks: First Generation Student</li>
<li>Asian male from WA</li>

<p>Ok, sorry if this came out pretty wordy. Some things to take note: I really emphasized my individuality through the essays. I didn’t want to seem like ‘just another asian’. Contrary to what I said, I did take the SATs a third time, and expecting 2300+ in two days.</p>
<p>Also, I do have my in-state safety, in case you were wondering</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
