<p>Comments/thoughts:
- Reason why I gave up chemistry and debate club is because the HHMI Scholar program requires you to take off to NIH after 4th period, thereby not being able to do any clubs. But, I was able to keep my biology club that I found
- Also, I've been in America since 5th grade, so English is not my best subject.
- Personally, I think I'm pretty good in music field. But at the same time, it'd be nice if I can have some national award
- Another big academic award would be nice
- Finally, I hope my SAT Scores turn out over 2300 this October, but let's assume 2200-2300 in case something bad happens.</p>
<p>Would you be so kind enough to chance me for...
- Harvard
- Princeton
- Brown PLME
- Caltech
- MIT
- UPenn
- Johns Hopkins
- Penn State
- University of Maryland</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your help!!</p>
