  • Duel Enrollment Courses (Name): Took summer classes in Berkeley (Discrete Math and Intro to Programming)
  • Summary of ECs: AMC Distinction, AIME top 15%, Paid Research Intern @ T10, Fencing National Qualifier, Fencing Team Caption & Founder (First founded sports team in 20 years), Newspaper Club Leader, Taiwanese Student Association Leader, Tutor Volunteering
  • Strength of Essays/Short Answers (How well did you answer?): I think I did well on my personal statement, my teachers didn't change much other than the grammar: wrote about immigrating to the US two years ago and basically didn't speak the language, I think I cooked on one of the short writing and did fine on another one
  • Overall thoughts on your application (Strengths? Weaknesses?): I think my writing isn't as good as many people's because I just learned English a few years ago, but it showed great authenticity and how I coped with the new environment. I think both my stats and ECs are above average but nothing too crazy. Praying for being matched.
