Hi,
International student, male, no FA needed.
Stats:
– 34 ACT, 800 Math L2, 700 Physics. (Single Sitting)
– 3.95 GPA (Rank 1/320; Toughest course available)
– APs aren’t offered at my school
ECs:
– Published research x2 in CS (but impact factors of journals aren’t that high). Worked on math research x2 (results are fairly significant, will publish in high impact journal).
– Teach CS (programming, app development, web development) to underprivileged children through my NPO. Nationwide presence (>10 cities). Handle national operations on a daily basis as well as personally teach in my city. Built a network of 100+ volunteers across the country.
– Manage my own startup which I founded with a few friends. Employ 14 people. Raised money (not that significant though). I also specifically learnt iOS development so that we could save money on employing engineers.
– Debate club (President), CS club (President), Math club (Member)
– Head Boy at my school (highest position on the student council), house captain at my older school (3rd highest position on the council)
– Played varsity sports (soccer and basketball; captained both teams) till 10th grade (wanted to start rec team at new school, but it turned out to be a dud)
– Perform card magic (at small events)
Awards:
– ISEF 2016 Semi Finalist in my country (Two of my projects got selected*, top 15 in CS category and top 8 in math category out of an estimated total of 15K submissions this year)
– Qualified the equivalent of AIME in my country
– Top 40 rank at national computing olympiad
– Some state level examinations (which aren’t that significant)
– Some school awards (award for ranking first (overall) in junior year, award for highest grades in CS, etc.)
Additional Notes:
– All the research was done by me. I did have mentors for my math projects, but I was the one that reached out to them through emails and continued collaboration. They’re at some of the topmost research institutes in the world and I have a rec from one of them, if at all it matters.
– No support in starting the startup as well as the NPO. My friends and I did it by ourselves.
– Hopefully good essays. I’ve had trouble getting them reviewed (because of lack of people who can, nevertheless, I have done my best in the essays).
– I qualified for the ISEF Semi Finals in both the categories with different projects, but rules dictate that one can only present a single project at the national fair. So I’ve decided to proceed with my math paper as the results are more significant.
– I might qualify to represent my country at the ISEF in time for RD. But that’s not something one can be sure of.
Thank you for your time! Have a great day!
