in at at least on of those just because of this. this makes you WAY different from other kids with similar stats and background.</p>

<p>what sport is it?</p>

<p>^hmm, not really, since it's Tennis, and according to ppl here EVERY ASIAN PERSON plays tennis</p>

hmmm yea... but if you're good at it (get a letter, go to state, etc.), it won't matter if it is a "Asian sport." besides, i doubt that many Asians who do play tennis are the team captain or even on varsity.</p>

<p>EDIT:
also, do you have any cool hobbies or anything other than the tennis that would make you seem well rounded?</p>

<p>Well i have some regional/state tennis awards...but i'm nowhere near recruitable. But i do have a varsity letter.</p>

<p>cool hobbies? erm, doesn't seem like it =P </p>

<p>ps. I do a LOT of tutoring tho...but again it seems like everyone does ^_^</p>

that's pretty good. if i were you i would try to do some kind of inner city/after school program type tutoring. tutoring at a high school, especially your own, is not really all that unique.</p>

<p>lol free time? i actually have a lot more free time than I would expect I surf the internet. hah. and I do math problems. =)</p>

<p>And handle all my 27350489734 clubs</p>

<p>and study for Bio and Chem olympiad..damn they take a lot of time, espeically if u want to qualify for finals (which i won't but i'm just going to give it a try).</p>

<p>bump! 10chars</p>

<p>bumppppppppp......</p>

<p>you probably have as good a chance as any of the applicants...you applying to MIT early? a girl from my school with about the same stats/ECs/awards as you just got in from my school. also asian female.</p>
