@MYOS1634 My family is Chinese (not mainland) so maybe? My parents claim that they don’t have gender bias, which I think is true, they just like my brother more.
I am fine really going to any school with a lively atmosphere (medium-large school) with a strong physical sciences department and a fair amount of resources. My dad is making me apply ED 1 to Scripps and ED 2 to HMC (this is subject to change, but these two are the only two schools available for my ED slots). I like Scripps, but it’s not my first choice school (I don’t have a “dream” school) and would only consider it as A CHOICE. I’m doing all I can to put effort into me being deferred.

I forgot one EC on there: my friends and I started an organization for cleaning up our city on the weekends (picking up trash in parking lots, sidewalks, parks, etc.)
