<p>hello everyone,
I want to consult you in a problem that has been bothering me for weeks. i'm a lebanese student (middle east).i plan to major in engineering or applied math (no preference).i will apply at cornell ED (applied math),berkeley(math or engineering) and rensselaer polytechnic institute(engineering).i scored 1360 in the sat 1(700:math, 660: reading). I would easily ace the french subject test(it's my language of instruction) and would score above 700 in the math 1 test.
I play the piano.
I volunteer at a children cancer care center.
I teach students to cover my expenses
I practice a variety of sports(not to be considered as a college level athlete)
soccer,basketball and handball.
I was the youngest chess player ever to feature in the lebanese open championship( my family stopped playing due to the political that took my country by storm). i still play at home though. I take online certified courses at mit,stanford and harvard. I don't have many community related activities because I live in a rural religiously mixed town(mixed=dangerous).can you offer me some help? thank you!</p>
