<p>I am waiting for my AP scores but personally I don't think I did too well on them. We'll see though. A lot of what I typed up there is messy because they were all part of my National Honor Society application (which I was accepted into, by the way), and I copied and pasted. Ask me if you need me to clear anything up, and I'll do that right away. Also, on the real application, should I only write down few activities and information that are more important to me?</p>
<p>In case you haven't noticed, most of my extracurricular activities involve music, but I guess that's just how it turned out to be. For more information about me personally, I'm a Korean-American from Ridgewood, New Jersey. Does it help at all that I'm Asian, or no? And one more thing, should I be applying to Early Action or Regular Decision with the resume above? I personally was tending toward Early Action, but I would like your opinions and input. I would appreciate it greatly if you guys took the time to go over this and get back to me.</p>
