Job Experience:
NASA (Summer 2007) – I worked full-time for 10 weeks in Building 22 at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center on the self-healing aspect of the tetrahedral robotics project. I started out not knowing what I was doing, but I am very good at learning things on my own, so I taught myself everything I needed to know as I went along. With the occasional help of my mentor and other interns, I completed my project early and beat all its requirements. I gave a 10-minute presentation on my work at a small symposium.

<p>I’m taking the SAT in december (it will come out in time to send to colleges)…besides that I should be fine, right?</p>

<p>besides the title…anyone?</p>

<p>Well if you do take the SATs again and score at least 250 points better you’ll probably have a much better chance at those schools. Being hispanic will also help.</p>

<p>250pts can be done</p>
