when i said “5 A’s” I was being cocky and referring to the 2 classes I already took in addition to the 3 i’m taking first semester senior year before I apply to college.
Good points all, I’ll definitely have to reconsider.
By the way, I forgot to mention, and I don’t know if this is significant, but I’m doing research with my college math teacher senior year on chaos theory (that’s what my class ‘complex’ equations’ was about). I’m not sure if that would fall under “published research,” as even if it’s published, my name will be only be written as, at most, assistant.
I dont believe Yeshiva’s grades are waited. out of a mean class of 15 in each class i took, i believe only 4 or so kids got A’s.
Does the journalist program I did last summer count as a minor ‘hook.’ it had a 30% acceptance rate (around 39 out of 120 something), and was affiliated with Columbia University, to add authenticity.
Lastly, does anyone know of any high school poetry contests of which i could get results back before I apply to college? As I said, I have some writing in mind that I think may have a chance for some sort of recognition.
Oh yeah, and what’s with the Siemens Contest. I got an email from College Board about it. What do you have to do? What sort of math do they expect you to use (it seems like most research would just involve basic stats or at most probability theory which doesn’t seem so clever.)
