My essays for Stanford, UPenn and Michigan are awesome (forgive my humility lol). Cornell and Rice are up to par, Harvey Mudd is okay.
* Not mentioning my safetys, but I do have them lol.
Nice teacher Recs from my Chemistry teacher, English teacher (III and IV) and math teacher (calc AB and algebra 2 Honors). Generic one from counselor.
And for my greatest downfall… ECs
Blue belt in karate
Crapload of Community service: relay for life, tutoring elementary kids, working at YMCA, Habitat for Humanity
Participated on a Advisory Committee for traffic safety (very small group, 6 people on committee total). Presented our suggestions to city council. Got lots of recognitions from that.
-Math honors society

honor roll all four years

AP Scholar with honors
Work Experience
-cashier at my father’s convenience store during the summer

paid tutor for students from various high schools in chemistry, U.S. History, math, Art History, Spanish
Honestly, my biggest downfalls imo are lack of career/major oriented ECs and 690 SAT score (hoping math 2 score makes up for that though)
