[ *] Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Debate team, 4 years (Vice President), Youth Roundtables, 2 years (hard to explain but it’s basically an initiative that trains teenagers to facilitate dialogues), National Honors Society, 2 years. There are others but they are unimportant and were not emphasized on my application.
[ *] Job/Work Experience: N/A
[ *] Volunteer/Community service: I’ve been working as a cashier at Habitat for Humanity for almost a year.
[ *] Summer Activities: STARTALK Chinese Academy, 2010.
[ *] Essays: Really good I thought, the main Common App one was about debate and how there’s value in working to become good at something rather than just giving up when you find you don’t possess a natural talent for it (aka, my life before age 14). My supplement answers were good as well, showed a clear interest in the school and also perhaps humanized me slightly (in the last one, I talked about how if I could take anyone anywhere, I would take my dad to the moon).
[ *] Teacher Recommendation: One was amazing, it literally made me cry. The other I didn’t see, but he said it would be “glowing” and I got the award for top student in his class last year.

[ /list][ b]General Comments:[ /b] I’m SO happy. I literally jumped up and down for five minutes screaming. After being rejected by Columbia and UChicago, even though they were reaches, I had started to lose faith in the whole process/my own intellectual prowess. Now I feel like I can believe in myself again, not to mention I’m probably going to college in the most amazing city in the world!! Also, they gave me decent financial aid - at least 20,000 in pure grants/scholarships, gotta check again to be sure.</p>
