<p>Extracurriculars </p>
<p>Biology Research
-Research on fraud within the fishing industry by testing fish DNA. Presented results at a local science fair and won several awards. But didn't go on to Intel/Siemens Competition cause I didn't use enough samples. Have been researching at the same college where I am currently taking my math classes since sophomore year. This year I want to try something with genetics and checking out the linkage between RFLPs and certain genetic diseases.</p>

<p>Teacher Recs: Will be from two teachers that know me pretty well and personally.
Counselor Rec: Will be good but will most likely not compare to my teacher recs.
Extra rec from Bio Professor. He was really impressed with me out of the 80 some students in the class. </p>
<p>Essays: One will definitely be about my passion for bio and medicine and how I definitely want to spend my future continuing it. I may also try to tie in a religious analogy (my battle with it) in there but Im still in the the experimenting stage. </p>
<p>Last Comments
-I think for where I live Ive done a pretty good job. Living in a suburb area like mine research opportunities are not very doable and not many kids do much outside of school.</p>
