<p>Hi guys im a asian male XD (gotta luv asians) sophomore at a public school in texas. I recently did a lot of research into the VIPER program at upenn and its definitely one of the most interesting programs i've see out there and i definitely would try to apply for it. I'm just wondering if my stats are about where they should to be in terms of ec's, activities, research etc. Also, if u have any comments about the Viper program please share.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: Key Club (executive board-webmaster (10), freshman rep (9) got some district convention awards), Math UIL (president team captain, various awards at regional and district levels), FBLA (treasurer/cofounder (10), done several service projects and market research), Science Olympiad (B Team member), Computer Science UIL, Piano XD (bunch of awards at national level/regional competitions....also we do benefit concerts)</p>

<p>Job/Work Experience: Gonna work as a dental assistant and lab technician at a orthodontist office (so happy!) Also this summer im going to do research in powder coatings at Valspar in the research and development division and possible research at rice university in chemistry </p>

<p>Volunteer/Community service: Key Club (also see summer stuff)</p>

<p>Summer Activities: Worked as the Lead Volunteer at one of the largest chinese culture centers in Texas working with children for a chinese immersion program. Also internships at 2 dental offices.</p>

<p>And btw i really would like to get into the viper program but im not gonna let it force me to do stuff just to get in. I really sincerely enjoy doing all of the activities i do. Thanks for yalls help!</p>

<p>Oh ****, hey I’m in it right now. I posted in the Penn 2017 results thread with my essay/common app already so if you check that you should be able to see what I got into the program with it right now. </p>

<p>If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask. It’s definitely a lot of work, but so far it’s been pretty fun and there are some perks to it. You get an awesome set of advisors who actually care about you and you get really close to them, you get some priority when it comes to getting classes just because your advisors pull strings, you get to become really close with the kids in your program just because you’re going to be with them for the next four years, you do lots of random bonding activities and eat tons of food, and you get to feel superior to everyone else.</p>
