I also submitted a music supplement that im pretty confident about to a few schools ( just for reference ) </p>

<p>Interesting Rubik’s Cube Awards. How did you get your rank, if I may ask? :D</p>

<p>Your ECs and numbers look pretty solid. I like that scholarship you got to Poland.</p>

<p>Even though you’re from a competitive pool, I’d say you have a great chance of getting into USC, Rice, and Hopkins, and an above average chance of getting into the other schools.</p>

<p>Chance back? </p>

<p>thanks guys, i actually found out that i got into stanford’s REA the same day! :]
and for the Rubik’s Cube… you shoudl check out worldcubeassociation.org. look for competition locations that are nearby, and just go in the morning at about 8:00. some you have to pay, some don’t, and you register at the desk. its more of a tournament-type thing to get ranked, not as much to win.</p>
