<p>Subjective
Essays: Yep, I spent time here…maybe a little over-passionate but it was strong
Teacher Recs: Amazing, Humanities had lots on emphasis on strong character, good friend, anecdotes about being the school klutz and anti-bullying episodes (do not attempt if you are not a female btw, boys have this weird thing about not hitting girls)…prbly why they picked me I think. Caltech is big on character
Counselor Rec: I don’t know…I bug him a lot…but I think he likes me?
Supplementary Material: Like three research papers, an RSI Rec letter, robots and electronics designs, sketches (pretty good).
Hook(recruited athlete, legacy, Nobel Prize): RSI 2012, ISEFX3 some special awards+3rd Place, published DNA sequences(2x), USAJMO, My school doesn’t really support anything like this so I fundraised for everything I do (lots of cookies), founded robotics, mock trial , Acadec, amc club, started Calc BC…</p>

<p>Advice?: I am very sure I got in on my character. I work really hard at anything I do, can get people to join me in starting stuff…so my advice? work your butt off sure, but be a nice person (this has other benefits too :P)</p>
