I am an international student with an ambition to study at the top universities of the US. I have few questions related to my extra circulars, so I would be really obliged if you could help me with them.
1.) My intended major is in Physics, and I dream of studying at MIT, HYP, Stanford (I know I have a crap shot but yeah I dream). So how could I show my passion towards Physics to these colleges. Basically, I want to know what EC could really help me getting in.
2.) I have a blog where I regularly post contents on Quantum physics and classical physics. I have posted over 50 posts and have received more than 40,000 views. Will this at least help me slightly set myself apart from other applicants and will the colleges recognize my passion towards Physics because of this?
3.) I also have 3 published novels at very young ages like 10,11. But I am afraid that colleges might not consider it as they are not related to Physics even though my 3rd book was based on a theoretical physicist. So my question is that will the colleges just ignore these EC just because they are unrelated to my intended major?
4.) I always wanted to carry out some research in Physics but in my country we don’t receive opportunities like that. Accordingly if I explain them that the place I belong from, do not provide ample opportunities to showcase our talents, in my essays and interview, will they consider it?
PS: I have good scores so I don’t think stats will be a problem.
thanks for reading.
