<p>Senior Courses: AP Literature, AP American Government, Calculus (taken through college but on school site; will be taking ap test for this if i have to), AP Physics, Advanced Pre-med (some anatomy class we have at school, will be my second year taking it since it's a 2 year long class) Orchestra (how bad will it be to drop it this year since i'm really fed up with our school conductor?)</p>
<p>Extra Cirriculars</p>
<p>Sports- Track (2 years) Cross Country (1 year) ---- How bad will this look since i quit them after sophmore year?</p>
<p>Orchestra- 4 years out of school at community orchestra, 4 years in school (how bad will it look if i drop the in school one senior year because the conductor is seriously out to get me)</p>
<p>Science Olympiad- 4 years with 10 regional medals (best being 2nd place for boomilever) and 1 state medal (elevated bridge). Also currently captain of the team this year</p>
<p>Clubs at school</p>
<p>National honor society- 3 years no leadership position though
Club med- currently treasurer and have been in it for 3 years since it was formed by my friend; failed to make usa biology olympiad semifinals cutoff by 1 point
Math club- currently treasurer and have been in it throughout high school; participated at Math Day at the Beach (some competition for schools); failed to make AMC 12 cut off by 2 points </p>
<p>Events I have not done but will plan to do this year:</p>
<p>Chemistry Olympiad and Physics Olympiad- Tried to do chem last year but we couldn't register at my school for some reason
Science Bowl- I formed the team this year and we'll be competing well past college apps but mainly doing for fun
Quiz Bowl- I formed the team this year and will be competing before college apps are due</p>
<p>Research/Work Experience</p>
<p>Weekend Research at Cal State Fullerton for around 40 hours (yeahh it was short :|)
Worked in eye doctor's office during 11th grade summer for 400 hours </p>
<p>Well that's pretty much me. Also, I'm horribly addicted to online games and it has wasted the equivalent of 214 days of my life, but I am currently the warlord (I command about 300 teenagers which is quite a feat if you ask me) of the #1 clan in this Mmorpg that has about 1 million people playing worldwide, can i put this on my application for leadership? Or will colleges see that as a joke?</p>
<p>Will be getting my letters of req from: </p>
<p>Math teacher (statistics) and he's known me for 4 years since he's the coach for science olympiad at my school and I did extremely well in his class (3rd person in 14 years of teaching to get an A+) and I got a school medallion for that class (awarded to only 4 people in entire mathmatics department and usually for only people for calculus but i was an exception last year). He's asked me to aid for him this year in order to help students in his class and also to teach sometimes </p>
<p>Science Teacher (Advanced pre-med) and she's known me for 2 years and I have been near the top in her class and have also asked her for help on out of school stuff. Also got a school award for this class. Planning to ask her because I'm interested in a medical career, BUT would asking my ap chemistry teacher be better? (For my chemistry teacher I did reasonably well in his class, but i heard his letters are very generic) </p>
<p>History Teacher (AP US) required for MIT's application and I really do'nt know how good of a letter this will be because he has a tendency to forget people's names and who they were even though I was top in my class. </p>
<p>My essay: Assume an average essay since i'm not that good of a writer (as you can probably tell from reading my post)</p>
<p>Schools (regular undergrad): UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC Irvine, UC Irvine, Stanford (My dream school), Yale, MIT</p>
<p>Schools (medical programs): Brown, USC, Rice, Washington University </p>
<p>So yeahhh that's me and thanks for reading this wall of text! Chance me and I'll take time to chance you back. THankss</p>
