Disclaimer: I am not bragging or trying to boast, I just want to improve my application
How well are my extracurriculars and how well do they convey passion and interest in a single field. Would my extracurricular profile be comparable to a student admitted to Ivy League schools?
I will describe my activities in order of importance and then list leadership and accomplishments.
1) FIRST Robotics: Software Lead and Team Captain: Numerous judged awards including Inspire Award and Think Award and New York State Competitions and qualification for the International Worlds Championship. ~ All Four Years
2) STEM Community Outreach / Mentoring: Volunteer at local events to teach coding, mechanical engineering and 3-d printing to youth interested in robotics. Also, work to create presentations to gather fundraising from corporations including Corning Inc, Cargill Salt, and ICM. ~ All Four Years
3) Paid 6 Week Summer Internship at Corning Incorporated: Working on machine learning and math modeling in design analysis. PS Work is proprietary can't talk much about it. ~ 2018 Summer
4) Online Computer Science and Data Science Courses for Machine Learning: Taking multiple classes in programming and machine learning through Coursera and Edx throughout the year including the summer. ~ Since 2017
5) Housekeeper at the Budget Inn Motel: Clean rooms and provide service to customers. ~ On weekends / Family Responsibility
6) Debate and Oration Club: President: Compete at local tournaments, mostly just host political events in the school. ~ All Four Years
7) Interact Club / NHS: Help volunteer: Not a significant activity compared to my top 4 which is why it is at the bottom. ~ All Four Years
Please provide feedback on whether or not I demonstrate a spike and passion in my EC list. I intentionally made myself not well rounded in order to demonstrate passion and commitment.
