Participated in the American Regions Mathematics League (ARML) in junior year. (Probably not worth much since I didn’t win anything haha)
I did a prestigious/selective seven week research program at the University of Arizona the summer between junior and senior year, where I did worked in a physics lab and presented my research at the end. I know I can get a good rec letter from the head of the lab.
My other recs will come from my english and math teachers, both of whom I have a great relationship with.
I’m a white male and I don’t have any hooks other than my parents immigrated from South Africa a year before I was born which isn’t really a hook.
I’m interested in doing math and maybe physics at one of these schools:
