<p>Anyone at all?</p>
<p>Your stats aren’t bad but your ec’s lack focus. Starting a business will help if you can write maturely about what you learned from it etc. I call bs on your particle accelerator and cloud chamber and so will adcoms. Not sure if your math awards are worth putting up there until you hit AIME (or honor roll for Euclid).</p>
<p>You can’t really expect many replies like 4 days after decisions came out</p>
<p>What if I were to attach photos/write up of my particle accelerator and my cloud chamber (or a recommendation from my physics teacher - he supervised to make sure no one killed themslves), because I really have made them, small scale though, each one required about 300 USD (lil less for cloud chamber).</p>
