I was out of school during sophomore year - not my fault - due to really intense family issues. I was NOT ALLOWED to do school, read, write, etc. I know it’s weird…strange situation. However, I did online school (ugh it was awful) and got As, and picked myself up very strongly in 11th grade after returning to school midyear, although I had a slightly smaller courseload.</p>

Anything else? UT Honors Colloquium invite, don’t know what that counts for. Certainly National Merit Finalist and AP Scholar with Distinction.</p>
<p>Want to major in some kind of engineering or computer science, maybe double up. Pretty extensive and diverse grad school plans.</p>
<p>School list:</p>
<p>Stanford ; considering the proximity to the Valley, the resources, and that it universally suits my goals, it’s my top pick</p>
<p>MIT ; engineering, the entrepreneurial spirit, innovation, really close second to S, has some perks that nearly offset not being in California</p>
<p>Yale ; literally no real reason, I will probably replace it with a school that I care genuinely about</p>
<p>USC ; I’m 90% confident this is where I’m going, it’s such a good match and fits my goals exceptionally well, save that it’s far from the Valley, but NMF Presidential Scholar and financial aid make it a really nice pick</p>
<p>UT Austin ; I count myself as really lucky to have this solid a safety, but it would likely be the most expensive for me, ironically, and I really want to get out of Texas, as much as I love Austin</p>
<p>I think that’s it.</p>
<p>@Repede Class of 2014 in high school, will be class of 2018 in college :D</p>

<p>@Marinozai How did you manage to write for the Huffington Post?</p>
<p>@TessVonBede - PM me, and where are you applying :)</p>
<p>This thread should be closed.</p>
<p>Not really - the other thread doesn’t ask for stats. This one is more informative.</p>
<p>@Marinozai, can I PM you too? I’m actually working on exploring a topic as part of an effort by a Youth Science organization and Huffpost has quite good media exposure.</p>
<p>I’m bored, so…</p>
