Hii! I a currently extremely anxious about college decisions (though they’re still 2 months away). My grades are pretty bad, so are my test scores but Boston College is one of my top choices and I really want to get in. I applied to A&S school for computer science!

- Student Council: Spokesman of my class
- Dance team: 4 years
- Athletics team: 4 years (gotten multiple prizes)
- Junior police call: 3 years
- Joined a summer camp about sustainability and environment on a scholarship in summer 2019

- international student (born and raised in Hong Kong)
recs(I didn’t read any of them):
- computer teacher (taught me 3 years)
- literature teacher (taught me 3 years and knows me pretty well)
