<p>Oh, forgot some stuff. </p>

<p>First of all, I’m an Asian female (I know… DEATH in LAC admissions)</p>

<p>I got 800’s on both the Chemistry and Literature subject tests, if that changes anything for you guys :)</p>

<p>I’ll be participating in Girl’s State this summer. Would being Governor be a significant boost to my app? Any tips/suggestions from previous Girl’s State-ers?</p>

<p>Also, I will likely be a National Merit Semi-finalist w/ a score of 218 in Minnesota. Which brings up another question: are there any top tier schools that offer scholarships to NMF?</p>
