Piano - 100 on Level 6, competed in state comp, nothing crazy
Research - some research, no papers
A lot of my stuff came out after deadline, so I wasnât able to talk abt my deca and hosa state stuff in my application. I did put in my âNote to SSPâ so Iâm pretty sure they saw it
My essays were abt my research, HOSA, and EURO, as well as my medical exposure in shadowing and clinical volunteering. It sucks getting rejected even after getting rejected last year, but life moves on.
Chin up! Your stats looks amazing and I know that good things await you in the future. The world needs young folks like you and so what ever you do, Do not get disheartened by this!! Good luck
