Everything about my profile is mid because I don't want ivies. No national level stuff... Not that cracked unfortunately. I AM IN STATE for UT AUSTIN FORTUNATELY

I want UT Austin. Just UT Austin ECE (Electrical + Computer Engineering).

APs: 5 AP CSP, 5 APCSA, 5 AP Precal, 5 AP Human Geography, 4 AP Seminar, 3 AP Physics C Mechanics, 5 AP Calc BC, 5 AP Calc AB, taking AP Chem, AP Pysch, AP Physics C E&M this year.

Semi-Rigorous courseload, not extremely crazy.

It's a heavily competitive major, which is why I am very scared. I am ranked 20/823 (huggee high school lol), 4.0/4.0 UW, 1550 SAT. Didn't get national merit, was 10 pts away.
Activities List:

• Robotics Intern at Robotics Startup Company as simulation engineering intern
  • Redesigned the core ROS2 and Gazebo framework to speed up simulation times by 14%, while reducing latency between path planner and controller by 31%.
• Research at NCState as simulation analyst
  • Collaborated with Professor [REDACTED] to analyze and develop a method of comparison between numerous path planners and controllers in ROS2 and Gazebo.
• CyberPatriot club president (80+ members), ranked t150 nationally at platinum division
  • As the President to aide 80+ students in the club (26-27 year). Held other positions in past years as well. Increased member attendance by x%
• SkillsUSA STEM branch president (100+ members), hit state multiple times, never ranked at state, hit 1st and 2nd in region quite a bit though
  • Elected as the STEM Branch President for local SkillsUSA chapter, along with other positions in past years. Raised district qualification rate by 35%.
• VEX Robotics programming captain (8th at state), first in local region, wrote a research paper on the programming template I coded
  • As the programming captain, I developed a custom coding template with advanced motion control systems, helping us qualify for the state championship.
• Internship(ish?) project with Roku employees on a side app
  • In coordination with Roku Employees, I assisted in the development of another app for the Roku platform, using [redacted internal Roku languages].
• Website director for a nationwide nonprofit (website director of the local area branch, managed the website).
  • As the Website Director for this non-profit, I focused on making the website render faster and also created digital media for expanding our outreach.
• Raised $3000 through python tutoring, funded 3 visually impaired kids education through that for a year
  • Independently hosted coding camps for past 3 years, raising $3000 towards the visually impaired. Sponsored 3 visually impaired student's education for 1 year.
• Did lots of Art stuff, including volunteering at an arts center for the elderly trying to showcase their art.
  • Regularly volunteered here with my friends while assisting in event setup and labor-intensive projects while supporting a welcoming art community.
• Art as an hobby is also on the activities list (should I do pickleball website coordinator instead? i kinda just wanted to show a non-STEM side of me instead of STEM STEM STEM ykwim)
  • Explored an interest in visual art through acrylic painting, color pastels, and charcoal pencil shading, while tinkering with different techniques.
• Essays feel kinda mid... idk if its the admissions season pressure or something else. Main problem I'm having is that I have a lot of STEM related EC's, but IDK if they align with ECE that well as much as Computer Science, it's the main cause of my concern.
• Thank you!
