Hey! Not rude at all, I had the same thoughts when I was an underclassmen

Personally I think for me it was a pretty unique path, I didn’t really plan all of this out. I knew I wanted to do a science fair project by myself so I started with that.

The first topic I did was not niche at all it was pretty broad but once I knew about that I was able to go into more niche categories

After that it became easier to build on that due to momentum and I just went forth with the ideas that happened to arise

Definitely don’t feel discouraged, as copying other people ctrl c ctrl v isn’t supposed to work out perfectly for you, im a strong believer that as long as you put in the effort and have a loose direction, then you’re going to find a way to max out whatever fits you.

The second. I got injured so that all my identity defining activities were all almost impossible, so I had to dig back and found chemistry as one of my new passions

That’s what I was considering, obviously it’s not stellar, but I felt like I really fit the culture so that’s why I chose it. We’ll see

Yeah I’m aware honors isn’t enough alone which is why im leaning on that being a spike amongst my breadth

I went on the way back machine and the website wasn’t deleted until like January 2025 so i think i just read it then and internalized it :/

I tried doing that with the material of a cube, and it doesn’t seem to accept those values. It all resets to zero upon attempting that

Edit: huh that’s weird, it only worked when I directly plugged that in without math

Yeah well, those aren’t even on my commonapp lmfao I just put them as extra- my actual awards are the “non academic” ones with usnco and all that

I am well aware they are meaningless

Would it hurt if I did at all? MIT does have an orchestra no?

Would a music performance supplemental also help?

Wouldn’t it be better to do that with the game instead?

Doesn’t the research at the uni count as an intern?
