<p>Seems like you do alot of stuff, but what's your passion?</p>

<p>I agree with Millerl1te. Although you are a very intelligent applicant, seeing that interning for a lawyer and going to science fairs don't really show your passions. I think it's very important to show your passions in your colleges, but if you can just find that, I think you'll be a very strong applicant. Good luck!</p>

<p>bump please..</p>

<p>HYP all reaches obv. I agree with two previous posters though.
What's your passion?</p>

<p>I'll bump this for you :)</p>

<p>hmm. Being an international is hard, I'll have to admit. But your SAT scores look good and you have killer-good EC's. All your colleges seem reasonably within reach, but internationals and Asians usually are much harder to get in, so if I were you I would prepare my mindset for that.</p>

<p>Well it seems to me that your Community service, although "extensive" isnt consistent. Colleges want to see consistency with ECs and CS, not like "I did it over the summer from 9-11 grade", but more like you woke up in the wee hours of one or two days a week all year and volunteered some of your time to something. Also, not to be repetitive, but what are YOU interested in? Lawyers office, science fair, debate....choose one or two things and make them YOURS. Good Luck.</p>
