<p>tlanton,
any tips on how to go black? </p>
<p>haha....
uhh... i guess mine would be founding an international literary and art magazine that has received over 10,000 readers and writers from all sorts of colleges.</p>
<p>I pretty much define diversity
Bi-racial, half black half white, lived all over the country touching pretty much every demographic, spent time in DOD schools, met African jews etc, Father has been both in and out of the army in my lifetime. Lived closely tied to both sides of my family etc etc.</p>
<p>Pretty much all I got.</p>
<p>forgot to delete the url of a bad site my friend sent me on the additional information page.</p>
<p>I lived alone in New York City for three weeks while doing an internship. Is that any good?</p>
<p>I am a black male interested in engineering. Who has done independent research on atomic physics every year of high school (except senior year) and got some awards and test scores in the top 25% at yale.</p>
<p>I sent in my 16 page paper on quantum tunneling. Hoping it helps.</p>
<p>I am an Eagle Scout....</p>
<p>That should be enough to say it alone.</p>
<p>But, I also have been one of a few to staff Boy Scouts of America's National Youth Training Camp.... Like 100-200 staffers in the country. That should be enough, but wait...</p>
<p>I also staff for minimal pay a cub scout camp for elementary school aged kids.</p>
<p>The last item should blow their minds.</p>
<p>I single-handly (basically) planned a boy-lead trip to Europe for this summer. I basically did it all myself, except for having adults pay for it. I literally had no help from any adult. </p>
<p>I am the bomb..... because the fact that I am one of a few thousand high school alpine ski racers in the nation....</p>
<p>I wrote my essay on comedy and put in anecdotes about laughing at the children's choir at my grandma's funeral (nothing in bad taste) and about the importance of fart jokes. I interviewed and made sure they had my sense of humor, the guy who interviewed me thinks Aqua Team Hunger Force and It's always sunny in Philadelphia is funny.</p>

<p>I placed in this contest</p>

<p>Not really all that unique really. I am a Boy Scout as well and planned a trip last summer just as you did, except to Honduras</p>
<p>But the alpine skiing/racing is cool!</p>
<p>student92, my friend has a more diverse family. His mom is dominican/jewish, his sister is half black- half white, his brother is half native american, and his dad is white, and he has been to a different high school in a different city every year</p>
<p>Traveled to every continent so far besides Australia and Antarctica (obviously haha) on educational/ service trips. seems kinda common to me though....</p>
<p>mine is immigrant from uzbekistan, half white-half Uzbek, first to go to college, mom makes under 30k, 3 sport athlete (not running like many others), musician (not many athletes and musicians) very difficult personal life that has shaped who I am and aspirations.</p>
<p>i'm the president of a fund that has raised like 7,000 dollars for underfunded cancer research since june?</p>
<p>Um... I raised a lot of money to help build schools in Africa. I ran the school Writers Club, and hosted/set up the school Open Mic Nights. I also had an active part in the schools Gay-Straight Allience. Aaand... I went into how I would use my writing to advocate the importance of changing the media's view of a woman's beauty. :3</p>
<p>Not sure if they are all that unique, but it's basically all I have.</p>
<p>I cured cancer. </p>
<p>Seriously though, one of my friends who's graduating from college this year, found a way to inhibit certain types of cancerous growth while still in high school. Craazy.</p>
<p>did lots of community service</p>
<p>I'm independent, confident, introspective, stuff like that. Ready for college in a way that not many people are. Not trying to impress anybody in any part of my application, just trying to give them what they need to judge me.</p>
<p>I'm just gonna stop in to say that anybody who's seriously insulting mcgoogly must have absolutely no sense of humor, which probably doesn't surprise me on this forum.</p>
<p>I've played soccer for 14 years (club and varsity) and run a philosophy club... And am NHS Treasurer.
I guess it's how diverse my ECs are...?</p>
<p>And quite possibly some of the humor in my statement, I guess I caught an adcom on a good day.</p>
<p>I eat orange peels.</p>
