Personal Statement664 WordsExtracurricular passion, Feeling out of place, Interest in med/sci/math, Story central to identity2012 MATHCOUNTS SPRINT ROUND. As I stared at my first MathCounts practice test, my seventh grade mind begged for more sleep. After plowing through thirty monotonous quadratic factorizations assigned as algebra homework the previous night, I dreaded more math, let alone waking up at 6:30 for a MathCounts practice. Little did I know, this forty minute contest math test would spark a passion in mathematics that would change my life. Contest math questions were unique because the solutions were simple to comprehend,...Read more...Every person has a creative side, and it can be expressed in many ways: problem solving, original and innovative thinking, and artistically, to name a few. Describe how you express your creative side.During my freshman year, my friends and I would always rendezvous in the orchestra room after school. This provided an occasion to discuss the daily progress (or lack thereof) on our crushes, funny moments of the day, and anything else we wished. The orchestra room was unique because it contained a series of small, smelly, and poorly maintained rooms fondly referred to as the “backrooms”.

As a young thinker myself, I loved exploring fascinating logic games like Rush Hour and River Crossing, but craved an organized outlet...Read more...Supplemental Essay: Other535 WordsIt took an interruption from daily anxiety for me to become aware of why squares seemed so familiar. Amidst my sea of college applications, I decided one Saturday morning that I would relax and play some pickup games of basketball at the local YMCA. As my friends and I shot free throws to determine teams, I stared at the square on the backboard, and the realization suddenly came to me: this is where it all began. This is square one. ...Read more...Supplemental Essay: Issue of personal significance565 Words“Morgan, eat your cauliflower! You are lucky that we have such vegetables!” Even as my mom scolded me, my foolish elementary self could only think about the sickening, scaly texture of the snow-covered trees in front of me. It would be years before I would understand the symbolic significance of eating a diverse range of foods. As a poor teacher’s daughter in Communist China, my mom’s daily diet of cabbage and rice was not nearly enough to nourish...Read more...School Specific Advice
