<p>Post # 3 on that thread. Look at the rest too- it’s helpful.</p>
<p>@8yearman- thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I’ve been trying to get it published before I applied to colleges, but it wasn’t able to be done. I guess I’m hoping that if I’m spending around 20 hours in a school week on research related activities, then it will show my dedication. That means around 4 hours a day on top of everything else…which is basically like a part time job, haha (w/out the pay, of course). </p>
<p>Do you have any suggestions on what I could have done to make my extracirriculars stick out more? I mean I’ve spent a good amount of time on each of the activities, I’ve been playing chess for 8 years (20+ trophies, VP, Co-Captain, USCF rated, City Champ X2), table tennis for 6 years (nationally ranked, won multi-state tournaments, MIT Connhua captain, Pres + Founder at school, ranked #2 junior in state), math competitions for 6 years (B Team X2, A Team X2, State Qualifier and New England qualifier X2, Euler Award, 3rd Highest scoring junior, League Champs X4, State 3rd place), science bowl for 6 years (A team captain, state champs X2, B Team captain, Coach at middle school, Chem Olympiad Qualifier- State Champs, JSHS qualifier), and volunteering for 4 years (Local/State Proctor, HS Campus Leader, Tutor for high school students, Key Club, Cultural activities) in addition to my research…what else should I have done?</p>
