<p>I seem pretty much like the stereotypical Asian applicant from Massachusetts... sighs.
Please tell me how I could improve and if I should drop anything especially for junior year.</p>
<p>Science Fair (9-12) tons of awards international, national, state, regional ever since middle school
Founder and President of a STEM Mentorship Program for low-income children (10-12)
Research Internship @ A Harvard Teaching Hospital (10-12)
Red Cross Volunteer (9-12), Treasurer of Red Cross State Youth Council (10-12) we raised a tonnn of money for diaster services and to deliver Measles vaccinations to children in 3rd world countries
Captain of STEM Club (10-12)
Model UN (9-12) a few regional awards for public speaking, nothing big.
Leader of Service and Leadership Council (9-12)
National Honor Society... hopefully will be elected something (11-12)
Ambassador (10-12)
Peer Leader/ ESL Tutor @ Chinese School (9-12)</p>
<p>Also tons of sporadic activities like
Job Shadowing at Hospital (9)
Peer Education (11-12)
Math Tutor (10-12)
STEM Saturday classes/lab demonstration at Boston College (10)
Chinese School... stopped going before high school.
Spirit Club (10-12)</p>
<p>Those activities I probably won't include on my application since they are sooo low commitment (ex: Peer Ed we only meet like twice a year to talk to new freshmen, job shadowing only lasted a year, I barely even get any people to tutor for math, etc) They will show up on my transcript though. </p>
<p>I'm pretty passionate about all the activities that are listed above, besides the sporadic ones. Anyways, just wondering if I'm spreading myself too thin or if I look too "stereotypically asian." Also, I'm not doing any sports or instruments on my application. I suck at sports. I play the flute, but I don't take any classes and haven't played in a band since middle school because 1. orchestra here is an unweighted class, I opted to take weighted classes instead 2. It's not like I'm super good at flute enough to get significant recognition... I just want to appear multi-faceted and not just the typical STEM geek...</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
