Are Multiple Passions Bad?

<p>“I am saying that your chacnes are far greater than most other people, but dont get overconfident and do be so mad when they reject you because people of your caliber do get rejected too.”</p>

<p>I somewhat agree with him. You do seem a bit overconfident/ cocky. </p>

<p>“There are 3-4 multiple time USAMO qualifying juniors that are class presidents, varsity athletes, and congressional award winners?”
The way you state this somewhat turns me off. It’s like your defending yourself or questioning our judgment, while we’re all simply trying to help you out. If you’re posting this to brag about yourself or get an ego boost, it’s pointless. Don’t bother. I and almost everybody else have seen similar or better.</p>

<p>I’m sure there are many who are equivalent to you or even better. At my school itself, there are kids who are ranked nationally at tennis, who are nationally competitive in debate, get straight As, have amazing schedules, and do tons of community service. I know kids who’ve been to RSI, SuMac, Red MOP, have multiple math awards (higher than yours), and have projects that were semi-finalists and even finalists at Intel. On top of that they’re state ranked athletes. Ok, at this point I’m speaking about one kid in particular, haha, but my point, and I’m sure his ( ^) too, is that after a point, your stats, your ECs, everything doesn’t matter. It’s all about whether your personality, or the person who shines through your application is appealing to the adcom. </p>

<p>The only major <em>flaw</em> I see in your application is that it’s too focused on you yourself. I don’t see community service, no volunteering, no tutoring, no concern about any other students than yourself. It’s definitely not too late to rectify this. but either way, I think you’re an incredible dude, and I’m sure you’ll end up at great colleges. I just felt like I needed to put this across.</p>
