I have received the highest marks in all my science courses where I am the youngest student. Hoping to attend an elite school to further my knowledge of life and chemical sciences with a premed direction in mind.
Built a strong relationship with a high faculty member who was my professor at Summer@Brown, and she offered to write me letter of recommendation. I essentially am going through the college admissions process alone. No one form my school applies to top universities. Also, I am trying to represent my background consistently through my application.
