Chance Me / Match Me!

I am an Asian male born in the USA. English is not my first language.

Here are the major things –

My UW GPA is a 3.6. My weighted GPA is a 4.4. My SAT score is a 1550 (800 math + 750 verbal). SAT Math II: 800. I’m taking Physics in December.

I have taken (including this year) 12 AP classes. I have also taken Multivariable Calculus, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra. This year, for math, I am taking Abstract Math, Real Analysis, and Complex Analysis. Next semester, I will be a teacher assistant for Multivariable Calculus at my local community college.

  • I got a perfect score on an AP Exam (different from getting 5; got a letter from the College Board for it)
  • Have been conducting research on a graduate-level math topic at a university for the past 6 months. I was there full-time over summer, and I am there part-time now. Research paper has been published in two research journals, one of which is an international journal.
  • Microsoft Imagine Cup Semifinalist (developed an app in a team of 4; semifinalist among international undergraduates/high school participants)
  • I made a robot in a team of four for a robotics competition. Won state competition and represented my state at national competition.
  • Co-founded a couple clubs; member of some others.
  • US Astronomy Olympiad, US Computing Olympiad Silver Divisionist (hopefully gold by December).
  • Physics Bowl 6th place in state
  • Qualified for state ARML team, some other math competition awards.
  • Made an anti-bullying app, recognized by Senator. Made another pro-environment app, won at a couple hackathons.
  • Tutor multivariable calc
  • Played piano for national guild
  • Founded a couple clubs, president of another, member of few others.

- Some (not very significant) amount of volunteering.

The above doesn’t include everything, but it includes what I believe is the most significant.

Wow. I think you have a really good chance at getting into all of these schools. I advise you to apply to some more reach schools like Columbia or Stanford. You can get in with your stats. What do you plan on majoring in?

Should I explain my medical reasons in my additional info section? I had surgery, and I missed several days of school up until the 10th grade (I had straight A’s ever since I had surgery).

Also, if anyone wants more specific info (e.g. what my Microsoft app was about / what exam I got perfect on / other minor awards), I can PM them.

Thank you so much for all of your responses. Does anyone else have any input?
BTW, I am planning to major in mathematics / operations research.
