<p>Most of my teachers love me and I have a strong relationship with my guidance counselor. I am a voracious reader and writer.</p>
<p>To get a better feel for who I am:</p>
<p>I am interested in brains, philosophy, psychology, synthesizers, conspiracy theories, evolution, mystics, prophets, moralizers, crazy people, chimps, cafes, writing, the cosmos, films, dessert, reislings and riojas, a good toothpick, a nice fresh red pen, sincere friends, children their follies and unintentional honesty, sunshine, silliness from profundity, photography, audiobooks, running, a solid quote, zombies, infectious diseases, introspection, the mail, hedgehogs, finding my every limit, and I love analyzing Economic Behavior, trying to comprehend String Theory, Reading, people-watching, cognitive reverie, eBay, memorizing trivial pursuit cards, sky gazing, and getting the mail.</p>
<p>*One must remember, i go to a small catholic high school, where there are almost no ECs offered; I have done (and I'm doing) as much as I can with the opportunities presented.</p>
<p>I want to major in Neuropsychology Finance, or Mathematics (number theory) and I'm looking towards applying to these schools:</p>
<p>UChicago, Northwestern, Berkley, Columbia, Stanford, Cornell, McGill, UPenn, Amherst, Williams, Caltech, Harvard (I might as well), Princeton, JHU, Rice, Brown, UMich, Swarthmore...to name a few. These are in no particular order.</p>
