Some of you may have noticed my many threads regarding acceptance to Stanford…I apologize for that.
I’m a junior, not a senior, by the way. So stats are subject to change. See my questions at the end.
Extracurriculars:
Weightlifter (not particularly good, though)
Running an actual business (I file my taxes with the IRS and all) that sells cosmetics/skin care products online.
Philosophy Club
President of National Math Honor Society.
Doing a 2-year laboratory research project on Investigating Aspirin-Loaded pHEMA-VP Hydrogel Nanoparticles as a Novel Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma Therapeutic.
Not …much else. RIP…
Current SAT: 1420 (predicted 1520 by senior year)
Math: 770
Reading/Writing: 650
Predicted Junior Year Weighted GPA: 4.31
Predicted Class Rank: 6%
PSAT: IDK
Competitions:
None yet, I will apply/attempt to do RSEF/ISEF this year.
I will apply to the Coca-Cola scholarship thing, maybe Siemens.
Trying to be a TED/TEDx speaker.
I may apply to the Google Science Fair this year, too.
Internships:
Janelia/HHMI Medical Center Internship
I may do the GMU ASSIP Lab Internship…
My questions:
- I go to a magnet school for math and science, and my science grades are mostly Bs…OOPS. But my passion is health/dermatology/science… so what are admissions officers going to think about that?
- Is it better to be well-rounded or angular in (a) field(s)? I don’t have various extracurricular activities, but I have a few in one field (health/dermatology/science).
- What are some common misconceptions about applying to Stanford, and what is one (not-obvious) theme Stanford students have?
