<p>Hiya, please chance me for UCB (as I hastily finish an application that's totally not due on 11/30). I want to major in either EECS or Biology (Micro/Molecular/Bioeng). Should I apply L&S or CoE? Also please chance me for MIT, Rice, Carnegie Mellon, and Stanford.</p>

One of the better public schools in Hawaii (we're STEM heavy). Rec letters are coming from teachers I'm close with (robotics/calc/lang).</p>
<p>*Senior Year Course Load *<a href="previous%20years%20are%20here.">url=http://pastebin.com/qMF2Kagm</a>
AP Physics C, AP Chemistry, AP Lit, AP CompSci, Robotics (new class), A+ C/D & My Calc BC teacher will be teaching me Calc 3/4 (doesn't count for credit, pretty much a self-study+awesome teacher )</p>
<p>Extracurriculars
• FIRST Robotics (10-12) / Project Manager this year
I freaking love robotics <em>spew gibberish</em> -- I hopped around looking for interests throughout high school and this hit me real hard, mostly because it goes beyond the technical stuff--there's a whole business/financing side to it (costs 18k/year to run)
• Science Club (10-12) /President this year
• Lunch Buddies (10-12) /President this year
Another club I really like, we hang out with the school's special education kids every Tuesday and Thursday during lunch
• Mock Trial (9-11)
• NHS (10-12)</p>
<p>I'm afraid that my skipping around will look bad, especially abruptly ending mock trial (our lawyer quit due to some messy things) and newswriting.</p>
<p>• I'm interned at our college's drone tech lab this summer
• Volunteer at a hospice since summer of 2013 (100+ hours)
• Volunteer instructor at a STEM camp for 4th-6th graders our robotics club hosts (I coordinated two of them, including one this past October w/ 48 students)
• Tutor students at local elementary & middle school</p>
<p>Awards 'n Stuff
• National History Day State Finalist [6th Place in Website for National Competition + Special Award]
• Science Olympiad State Competition
2013: State Champs (Genetics—1st Place, Water Quality—1st Place)
2014: 2nd Place @ States (Genetics—2nd Place, Anatomy—2nd Place, Disease Detectives—3rd Place)
• 2014 State Science Bowl 2nd Place
• Harvard Book Award
• Hawaii Journalism Award (Best Print Newspaper & Best Photography)</p>
<p>Interesting facts are that I "immigrated" to America (parents are first gen, I was born in America, but I moved to China when I was <1 y/o and lived there until I was 5/6) and that I'm neurotic when it comes to formatting. Essays will be about family issues that have been going on since second grade, my childhood addiction to this website called "Neopets", hospice experience, and robotics. I also like potatoes.</p>
<p>Thanks! :)
