ECs:
- Played Indian drum Instrument called for over 11 years: had a solo debut performance, also picked up other foreign drums
- National Honor Society: President — NHS group of over 120+ people this year that I have to manage, more than double our school has ever seen, numerous community service and fundraising events, etc.
- Independent research project: Writing a very basic computer simulation program to simulate experiment on sound and brainwave entrainment. Planning on writing a paper and submitting abstract. I have a mentor and stuff but the research isn’t very good, probably not very publishable and certainly won’t work in research competitions.
- Debate (4 years): NSDA Late outround qualifier
- Research with a professor from a local college (summer into Senior Year): Making a statistical model using computer software. also writing a Machine Learning algorithm based on data collected and various statistics principles.
- *Math Team (4 years): Earned a few awards in the State and New England, our school consistently places in the top 2 in the state competitions. top scorer
- *Speech and Debate Coach / Instructor (4 years): Coach my junior high’s speech team and work at a debate camp for middle schoolers in the summer

Essays and Recommendations:
- I’ll try to make it as good as it can be lol
- LoR: One from my math teacher, who also happens to be the NHS advisor and gave me an award for being a top performing Junior in BC Calculus (a senior class) so his will probably be good (maybe “exceptional?”). Another from my English teacher, hers should also be decently good.
- Counselor one should be pretty good
- LOR from my employer at the math school, knows me both as a student and employee. Should be pretty good
