I understand everything you are saying, but isn’t there an Additional Comments (or something like that) on the Common App? Maybe that could be a way for me to put my situation in perspective?
For the coding, my projects are done with me and my group of friends, employees and volunteers. While the group is small, there are a considerable amount of people interested in the completed project. I also plan on doing hackathons later this year which will also be done with a group of people. The only things I do alone are personal projects or projects that I want to expand on in the future, and I won’t be showing those to admissions.
My last few questions are the following:
What coding related activities impress colleges? I already know of coding tournaments like USACO and IOI, but I think I’m too late for it and that I can’t compete in them because my school doesn’t have a team. No-one in my school codes either.
A follow-up question to the previous one: Do you know of any coding events/tournaments that take place later this year, or where to look for them? I’m still looking for those.
Also, do you know any design related events/tournaments that happen later this year?
Lastly, if I participate in an event, tournament or achieve something after I submit my application, how can I let admissions know? Do I edit my application or email them, or can I not at all?
Unless there are more questions that come from your response, I don’t think I will bump/post to this thread any longer, as most of my answers have been answered already. If any more questions arise ill either have to wait and see what happens or create a new thread.
I thank everyone who has helped answer some of my questions thus far, and I wish you luck with your future endeavors.
