Hi all!
I am a current high-school sophomore hoping for admission to COSMOS 2020. I'm having trouble starting my essay, so does anyone have any useful tips? Also, considering my stats (will list below) which cluster will I have the highest chances of getting into?? If anyone answers this, thank you so much!
Here are the clusters I'm considering:
UCDavis:
#2 is something I'm interested in, Phys/Eng, but I've not yet taken high school physics (prerequisite), only Physical Sciences in the 8th grade.
#4 - Intro to Astrophysics![:star:]( ":star:")
UCIrvine:
#1 - Mimicking Natural Protein Interactions to Target Cancer and Other Diseases
#2 - Computation and Machine Learning![:star:]( ":star:")
#4 - Can you make the next billion-dollar antibiotic?![:star:]( ":star:")
? lol
UCSC:
#2 - Nanochemistry and Nanotechnology (1st choice only)![:star:]( ":star:")
UCSD:
#1 - Computers in Everyday Life (1st choice only)![:star:]( ":star:")
#7 - Synthetic Biology
GPA: 3.84 UW/4.17 W (kinda low![:(]( ":(")
because I took Honors Chinese this year)
E.C.s: MUN (member), Children of The World (fundraising, member), Badminton (co-founder, co-president), Yearbook (secretary), Math Madness (part of team)
Standardized Tests: PSAT 10 1490, SAT Bio 670 (low![:(]( ":(")
), 4 and 5 on non-STEM APs
Got to state science fair, 2nd in school for AMC 10
Taking AP Calculus AB, Chemistry
