Robotics, and debate as mentioned above
Some personal projects like using ML in debate, and using ML in an indepdnent study to classify cardiovascular chest images.
Freshman year volounteer cs summer internship

My thoughts/worries

  1. lack of awards that aren’t debate/robotics, but the awards I do have in both are p good
  2. all of the programs i’m applying to are rlly hard, and programs like RMP and Rise are like 10k which isn’t super affordable to me.

Programs im applying to:
submitted:
SSRP (Rockefeller)
RMP

future:
SSRP (simons)
HOPPS
Garcia
HSHSP
RISE
CMU SAMS/CSS (not sure if it’s diverse background only or not)
idk more if I find some more that interest me.

hey did you get accepted in RMP. My son got a decline, he is a sophomore though and might be joining SRA if nothing else works out.
