A Bit More About Me
Academic and Standardized Test Achievements
I have demonstrated exceptional academic breadth and depth, having achieved a perfect score of 5 on a wide range of AP exams, including Calculus BC (with a 5/5 on the AB portion), Statistics, Chemistry, Physics 2, Physics C, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Psychology, and US History. I have consistently earned perfect math scores on every standardized exam taken, including an 800 on the SAT Math section and an 800 on the SAT Mathematics II Subject Test. I also scored a perfect 760 on the PSAT Math section. My strong standardized test performance extends to the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), where I scored in the top 10%.
College Admissions Experience
I have successfully navigated two admissions cycles, gaining acceptance to prominent undergraduate and medical school programs. Since graduating from Rice University, I have mentored students through 3 admissions cycles, helping them secure acceptances to a variety of top tier undergraduate institutions such as Harvard, Yale, UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, Rice, GeorgiaTech, UMich, WashU, UVA, Claremont McKenna College, Wesleyan, University of Wisconsin–Madison, and UT Austin, among others.
Competition Math Experience
I possess extensive experience in both competition math and competition chess. I am a 3x AIME qualifier and a 3x participant in the prestigious MIT Math Prize for Girls competition. I am a top scorer on the AMC 8, 10, and 12 and a recipient of the Distinguished Honor Roll (placing in the top 1%). Furthermore, I placed in the top 20 in the state across all four sections of the Texas Math and Science Coaches Association (TMSCA) competition—General Math, Number Sense, Calculator, and General Science—and was a perfect scorer on the Harvard CS50x Puzzle Day team competition.
Chess Achievements
In chess, I hold a United States Chess Federation (USCF) rating of approximately 2000. In 2017, I was ranked among the top 5 nationally for all female players in my age group and have received an array of local, state, and national chess awards and achievements. I was also invited to represent the U.S. in the World Youth's Championships in Slovenia as a top 10 U.S. chess player in my age group.
