<p>I will be writing my essay on my family and health problems that Ive undergone over the past few years</p>
<p>Honestly i think you're EC's are bs. Seriously how can you be a FOUNDER of a library? Uh, I think your EC's can overshadow your gpa or your sats, but not both. How do you have a 3.9/4.0 GPA right now and make a 1170 on your sats??? What are the sales of your "short term company", I founded a small company my sophmore year with 8000 in sales.</p>
<p>the library thing is valid. my friend founded a library for her chinese school. its not the normal library with a building or something. but she organizes book donations and runs it for the chinese school. i don't know about the rest, they seem to be embellished abit too much if you can tone it down it would look believable. an extra rec from a professor you have worked with will support the validity of your case better if you are indeed leading graduate level students.</p>
<p>the fact that you are from NJ, Asian, and have extremely low SAT scores have great chances of overshadowing your whole case. However, I think there is also a good chance that they decide to take you anyway given your stellar ECAs.</p>
<p>ah i think i phrased it wrong, graduate level research, and its a group of people our own age, sry i typed it a bit too fast lol its an independent project that i discussed with a professor but its high level</p>
<p>wow. this is unbelievable. You didn't get any humanitarian awards or like some crazy award for your achievements? It is highly unlikely you did all those. imho, dis is all madeup. You had family issues, you basically do research and do medical studies, along with makign summer camp and all that other stuff, and writing a publication, etc. ALL THIS?! impossible. </p>
<p>but if dis is true, which is highly unlikely and shocked that I have never heard of you and never heard of anyone doing all this especially by a high schooler, you are guarenteed acceptance with scholarship to whereever you apply because schools would be all over you.</p>
<p>there are a lot of kids that do research, a lot more than u think at least, my friend started a research group at a nearby medical school
and why would i make this stuff up, if i made all that up then i might as well have made up my gpa & sat scores.</p>
