<p>Published in Teen Ink, Cicada Magazine, and school's literary magazine - I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for other magazines!</p>

<p>I have over 300 + hours with volunteer experience, and I have work experience at a medical clinic over the summer. I'm also a private musician and private tutor for science/math/writing.</p>

<p>Summer Activities:
• Best Buddies National Leadership Conference – Indiana University
• Summer @ Brown Program:Psychology
• Internship at Brain Center</p>

<p>I know my scores aren't that great, and I won't be taking the SAT again (only the ACT and I hope to do well there) - I want to go into the fields of psychology/neuroscience, creative writing, and music. A bunch of my EC's revolve around Creative Writing (literary magazines, publishings, tutoring, awards, etc.) and I've also done a lot with music (competitions, festivals, piano accompaniment, private musician, etc.) and with psychology neuroscience (AP classes and scores, Summer at Brown program, Internship, work at medical clinic, etc.) Will it hurt me that I haven't worked at the hospital - I'm not a typical Asian with top scores and incredibly strong GPA and all that - but I do have a lot of leadership and passion with my EC's and volunteering. I love writing & I think my college essays will be good & my rec letters should be good too. Can I make up for my low scores with my EC's and stuff? Also, I'm not entirely sure If I really want to go into neuroscience/psychology - so is it necessary for me to take the bio subject test or can I rely on a 4 or 5 on the bio ap (granted that the colleges I'm applying to don't require specific science subject tests?)</p>

<p>Also, as for my ethnicity, my mother is somewhat hispanic, but I've never truly identified myself as hispanic/asian - just mainly asian or other whenever ethnicity questions were asked on standardized tests. So should I include hispanic/asian?</p>

<p>I think any of the UC’s would be a good match for you, although they are very expensive if you’re OOS.</p>

<p>Reaches would be some Ivy League schools, mostly because of your SAT scores and you don’t seem to be dead focused on one extracurricular activity.</p>

<p>Thanks for the comments! What about Chicago and UMichigan? The EC that I mainly focus on is my work at the brain center - cause I want to go into neuroscience/psychology - I spend a lot of hours there and do a bunch of different stuff. It’s definitely my main EC.</p>

<p>Anyone? Any good match schools/safety schools?</p>
