<p>The question you need to ask yourself is: How do I measure up against seniors who have one more year of achievements and classes to boast of?</p>
<p>I don’t think many people can accurately chance you MyBlsShrt, since we don’t see many people applying eardy admission.</p>
<p>Get some good essays, I’m seeing a classic Asian Chinese smart person with research experience, high GPA, and the works. Write about something really creative and you have a good shot.</p>
<p>I am writing my personal essay on how my piano teacher said I lacked “musical ears” and would never be able to play well. However, I practiced for many hours each day and eventually proved her wrong.</p>
<p>Also, would writing the extracurricular activity essay on research hurt me more than it would help me as I am Asian?</p>
<p>naw, just make it interesting. a good way to tell is to give it to someone who has never reads it before and times how long he/she takes to read it. An interesting essay is always read very fast.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if it is possible to apply to Columbia ED and then apply to Chicago and MIT EA?</p>

<p>Yes. I took an unweighted class (french 2, honors not offered) freshman year. My unweighted GPA is 4.0/4.0</p>
<p>Also, could I apply to Columbia ED and then Caltech EA?</p>
