<p>Volunteer Work:
Tutoring - probably around 150-200 hrs mix of low-income as well as middle school students (9,10,11)
Part of a group of students that meet to build computers and servers for local charities. We get donations from Intel: cash and old comps. - 200 hrs or so (9,10,11,12)

Played the violin for 12 years (not really that good, but decent). Part of the school orchestra - principal violinist. I was part of Metropolitan Youth Symphony for a year, but quit due to time constraints. </p>
<p>Research/Awards:
I did two research projects didn't win much. The one I liked was a microbiology project that dealt with E.Coli developing resistance to common anti-bacterial products. I qualified for the Northwest Science Exposition and won the Air Force Award for Outstanding Project in Math and Science. Won regional prizes (2nd in Category). Also qualified for the Oregon Science Symposium and gave a presentation about my mircobiology project in front of a panel. Worked with a professor at University of Portland (doubt he will give a rec, he got very busy and lost a lot of funding so I was unable to continue research this year)
Won some regional math competitions and went to the Oregon Invitational Mathematics Tournament. </p>
<p>Schools that I am looking at:
Harvard (#1 choice)
Yale
Stanford
Duke
Cornell
Northwestern
Washington U in St. Louis
USC
Oregon State University (Safety - Guaranteed Admission for applicants in the state of Oregon with a 3.25 GPA)</p>
