<p>OP –</p>
<p>Your 35 ACT, high gpa and strong extracurriculars put you above the midpoint of almost all schools, including top 20.</p>
<p>Your drawing stood out to me. It will to an adcom. If adcoms are anything like me, they look for the “dog bites man” story in every applicant. It is different. The piano part is boring… Asian, high gpa, high ACT, great at piano…yawn. The drawing stands out! The weight loss stands out! Use them both to paint the picture of who you are, and why you will be an interesting addition to their campus.</p>
