<p>Any comments are much obliged.. thanks!</p>
<p>You have won great awards that will definitely help. You show a passion in science which is great (it would probably look better to MIT and Caltech). You’re application is kind of one sided, very one dimensional, but still very impressive. It’s hard to tell, but you might have a decent chance. The only bad thing is that you seem to be a typical asian applicant. As sad as that is, Asians do get treated unfairly in the admissions process.</p>
<p>P.S. How are you in the top .01% in a class of 100? Even if you are #1, you would be 1% (1 in a hundred.) You would have to be valedictorian in a class of 10,000 to be the top .01%. Just something I noticed. Don’t mean to be smart alecky, but just saying. ^^</p>
<p>A few intresting things:</p>
<p>Your race is Male.
Your gender is Asian.
No Georgian placed in the Intel ISEF for Physics this year
In the past three years, no Georgian has won the USAMO
I’ve never heard of a country named Kannada. Sounds a lot like Canada
No company in their right mind would give a teenager without a college education the post of Project Manager for their biggest blunder.
Cmarshall already pointed out the problem with your class rank</p>
<p>■■■■■.</p>

</p>
<p>I’m not denying/supporting the validity of your other points, but Kannada refers to the language and culture of the southern Indian state of Karnataka. Hence, people from Karnataka are ‘Kannada people’.
Just felt the need to point this out.</p>
<p>But if you Google “Foundation for Underrepresented Citizens of Kannada” all you get is his post.</p>
<p>Maybe he got the name of the foundation wrong.</p>
<p>Even if this info is false, I think it’s more likely that he’s testing the waters with somewhat-enhanced credentials than that he’s trolling. I don’t see anything about his post that even looks like it was intended to enrage or provoke anyone, aside from the fact that I’m reacting like, “Why can’t <em>I</em> have credentials like these?!”</p>
