Resolves yes if I get into one of the following: MIT, Stanford, CMU, UC Berkley, Cornell, Princeton, Caltech, Columbia, UCLA, UPenn, Harvard
not in CA state.
Special Note: Father has rare autoimmune disease, which is what led me to pursue so much Biology in my ECs despite being a CS major. I fully intend on pursuing my work further when in college despite being a CS major.
3.95+ UW, 1540 SAT, Max-rigor school (9APs by end junior, enrolled in 3 at school senior, self studying 5 more --> 17 total), 6 Dual-enrollment courses: Calc III & IV, Linear Algebra, Diff Eq, Discrete Math, Data Structures, C++, self studying: abstract alg and real analysis
Competitive HS (but not feeder), 30 ish kids send to top unis.
Awards:
- USACO Gold, MathCON Finalist (top 2% out of 31k), PVSA Gold
- projected:
- good performance in AMC and AIME? I've been getting USAMO level indices in my practice runs, so potentially in senior year I could get USAMO for LOCI. for waitlist This will likely be confimed in march-ish regardless. Will be taking AIME and USAMTS - didn't know about competitions until very recent.
- I also got perfect in silver contest when getting USACO gold, and am highly likely to get USACO plat around december for LOCI in case of waitlist - again didn't know about these comps until very recently.
ECs:
- Working with Berkley PhD mentor for paper on theoretical CS and AI, high chances of solid publication at neurIPS and top journals, at minimum Arxiv guaranteed.
- Internship with NASA (GL4HS), very stacked team
- 2500+ lichess, custom chess engine project related to stochastic calculus, extremely novel, collab with various profs abroad, looking for main mentor
- Internship with healthcare company, cancer related, and 2 other cs companies (mental health and travel) with website with 100k+ consumers and apps with 10k+ downloads.
- Teaching and curriculum creation at local elem schools and montessori, 300+ hours, small group of kids all tutored very personal level for weeks, teaching interpersonal skills and random stuff
- WetLab work at local community college related to DNA and enzyme kinematics + computational work in that regard

1,000You have a strong profile. Make sure you have strong recommendation letters (e.g Someone that would list you as "the strongest they've ever had" or "strongest in years".
Unfortunately, universities also filter based on ethnicity, gender, and where you are. E.g. if you are an Asian, Male from a high income competitive school district, things are significantly harder for you. So you could consider listing them out to get a more precise view. Also list any other hooks you might have (low income, first gen to college, etc.)
