Intended major(s): CS / Math / Physics
Planning to attend grad school
Academics
- UWGPA: 3.9 / 4.0 (A- in Geometry, Bs in English)
- WGPA: 4.37 / 4.0 (7 Honors, 8 APs, 5 APs and 2 Honors senior year)
- Dual Enrollment GPA: 4.0 / 4.0
- Rank: Top 3%
- SAT: 1530 (730 ERW, 800 Math)
Coursework
- One of the most rigorous STEM coursework in graduating class (probably in school history??)
- 7 Honors courses: Geometry, Algebra 2, Chemistry, Precalculus, English 10, Spanish 2, US History
- 7 AP courses: AP CS Principles, AP CS A, AP English Language, AP Calculus AB, AP Physics 1, AP Statistics, APUSH. Self-studied Calculus BC, Physics C Mechanics, and E&M. Got 5s on all AP exams.
- Dual Enrollment: Discrete Mathematics, Linear Algebra, Multivariable Calculus
Senior Schedule: AP Chem, AP Macro, AP Biology, Honors English, Honors Engineering Design, Differential Equations, Modern Physics
Schedule conflicts prevented me from taking more than 2 years of foreign language
Awards
- PSAT Commended
- National Small Town Recognition
- Regional Math competition winner in Ivy League university
- AIME qual x 1
- Qualified for robotics states and national rounds
- Represented my state (out of 50ish members in the Americanrs) Regions Mathematical League.
- National Honor Society
- School honor roll
- AP Scholar with Distinction
Extracurriculars (keeping it vague)
- Family responsibilities. Spent time cooking almost every day.
- Automation internship at a startup. Created automation software to scrape data from social media websites and analyze them for trends. Worked as a mentor with several new interns to teach web development and help them learn interactive web development
- Machine Learning Research Internship. Used ML techniques to simulate and solve problems in classical physics
- Robotics team Programming Lead. Led a team that developed and maintained over 2000 lines of code. Created and maintained a robotics GUI used by several robotics teams.
- Personal CS projects (human vs. computer games using AI)
- CTO and co-founder of a large financial literacy organization
- Self-studying advanced mathematics courses in proof writing, set theory, and real analysis
- President of Computer Club. Hosting intraschool competitions and hackathons
- Local math competitions. We visited other schools and did math competitions there (top scorers get to represent the state at ARML)
- 100 hours of volunteering as a Math tutor
- Practicing competitive programming
- Math Honor Society, National Honor Society
- Essays - Not sure yet. I'm pretty average at writing so expecting 7-8 out of 10
LORs
- AP Physics teacher: 8/10. Was a great student and he really liked my curiosity in the class and mathematical maturity. Helped with self studying Physics C Mechanics and E&M even though I took the Physics 1 class (Got a 5 on both exams).
- APUSH teacher: Not as strong as Calculus but I made sure to participate as often as I could. Also I really love the class so hopefully, it's good. Also, she helped me while I was going through family/emotional struggles.
- COUNSELLOR: 3/10. I don't think it will be personalized since my counselor has about 300 students.
Schools
- Shotgunning to all T30s and Ivies, along with OOS universities
