  • Art class at Colombia University
    Interests:
  • Art: painting/drawing/sculpture/digital/photograhpy: i have done almost every type of art making there is, but i specialize in drawing and painting. I have been doing so basically since i was born (no joke!) and have been commissioned several times to make paintings for people
  • Piano: been playing the piano since i was 4. Followed the Royal Conservatory of Music curriculum, which was just introduced in NYC this year, so im one of the few kids in the city doing it. I am in grade 9, which means i will be able to teach next year! I’ve gotten tons of awards/certificates from playing in concerts.

<p>Random: I have lived in Canada for 10 years, London for 3 years, Japan for 2 years and New York City for 2 years. I have great recs, one from my french teacher who told me she “got someone into Yale”…and I love English and writing and it is my favorite subject, so essays shouldn’t be a problem. </p>

<p>Im also looking at Bowdoin, Welsleyan, Yale, Tufts, JHU, UPenn (legacy), Hamilton, Haverford, Amherst</p>

<p>wow…</p>

<p>confused…?</p>

<p>i hope i don’t come off as arrogant or anything, i’ve just heard a lot of mixed opinions from college advisors and friends, and i thought i’d try my luck here.</p>

<p>sorry, it was a wow…you’re resume is ridiculously good. your class rank and gpa aren’t excellent, but your standout ECs definitely make up for them. most of these top tier schools would prefer someone like you to a slug valedictorian. you seem to want to go into medicine, so i would try for brown plme, which would be awesome to get into. if your essays and reccomendations are good, i would be surprised if you got rejected.</p>

<p>i just checked your stats, and i have some advice: lay off the chance threads. You’ve already created 7, there’s really nothing to be gained by continuing to start more. Unless you have a revelation, your chances aren’t changing.</p>
