By the Way, I’ll chance back!

You are a competitive applicant. Your stats and ECs are great. Write good essays, apply early to one of these schools, and you could get accepted to any of these schools

4

Asian Male - Your already halfway there

Extracurricular - wasn’t 1st place

You have stellar credentials! You are obviously highly accomplished in STEM, but many Asian applicants will be as well. To stand out a bit more, take some risks in your essay. Think deeply about an issue that combines multiple disciplines such as how the rise of AI might pose an existentialist threat to humans. Not just the technology behind AI, but what it means to be human and how the rise of AI might provoke us to rethink what it means to conscious, intelligent and alive. And maybe interweave your discussion with a completely different topic such as famous musical composition and draw parallels between these two seemingly disparate entities.
