<p>9th and 10th grade went to Marcus High (Texas)

-Received Rakesh Patel Scholarship for research excellence in Biological Sciences by the Dean of TAMS.

<p>Expecting Strong Recs (one from Dean of TAMS, one from UNT Genetics Professor/Research Mentor, and one from Senior English teacher from old high school–my acdec coach). </p>
<p>Essays really show my passions and interests.</p>
<p>Like I said, gpa, sats, and sat2s are low…hoping my research and siemens will overshadow that…</p>
<p>Sorry it was so long…and Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it</p>
