Strengths:

1. Well written essays (English teacher & mom’s coworker who majored in English both told me not to change a word)

2. Strong leadership (DG of competitive Model UN program, President of school ACLU chapter, band section leader for 3 years)

3. Devotion to two major areas in ECs incl. many awards (debate/politics and band)

4. Definitely at least one great teacher rec + rec from prof. at school I’m applying to

5. Decent grades (only 2 B+'s 9-11) & great SAT-IIs (800-800-750)

6. 200+ hours of community service at local hospital

Weaknesses:

2. Quality of second teacher rec questionable

3. Mediocre SAT score (2230) for schools I’m applying to

4. Asian Male
