<p>Early Action to Harvard: Just about every hook: 1st gen, Nigerian/American (African/American for anyone who doesn’t know), English isn’t my first language (actually it isn’t even the predominant language spoken at home), I speak 3 languages (English, Yoruba, Chinese), single parent (of 4), low income.</p>
<p>I’ve been to China on a scholarship, scored a 31 on the first ACT (fixing it), National Merit Black Scholar, building a particle accelerator for sci fair (I’M A SCIENCE FREAK). </p>
<p>WEAKNESS: LOOOOOOOOOOOOWW Grades (4 C’s and an F), though 10 AP classes (plus 3 self studying, Chinese, Calc BC, and Physics C). Rest Honors. 3.5 unweighted, 4.55 weighted, top 6%, (class of 1000 though, so woooot).</p>
