This is my third time applying, and I really want to make it my last! I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me if I'm doing ok or if I'm competitive. Any help or suggestions on how I can improve both in the next 6 months and in the next year is greatly appreciated!! I also would love to know how to get involved in research now that I do not live near a university. I also am aware I need to beef up my extracurriculars so any suggestions on unique things to add to that area are appreciated as well🙂 . "I know I posted something last year, but these are more accurate stats."
