User:Samlan16

Samlan16 is a former student at Fulton Science Academy and a current student at Milton High School in Georgia.

In the past, I have mainly had a focus in chemistry and physics events but have also done Write It Do It, Experimental Design, Disease Detectives, and several building events. Over my career, I have accumulated more bronze medals and 5th place ribbons than all my silver and gold medals combined. How depressing.

My previous leadership positions in SO have been a representative at Nationals for FSA in 8th grade and vice captain of inquiry events at Milton sophomore year. I still consider my best Science Olympiad moment to be winning 6th place in Food Science at Nationals. In 2015, I am a co-captain of Milton and participate in Forensics, Experimental Design, WIDI, Chem Lab, and Compound Machines. I also am coaching Crime Busters and Can't Judge a Powder at FSA. My current goal is to win gold and silver medals across the board at one tournament before I graduate.

Extracurriculars
I am on math team and academic bowl, but I do not perform nearly as well there as in SO. I am also in Beta, Soceidad Honoraria Hispanica, SNHS, Mu Alpha Theta, and NHS. In middle school, I was a bit more active, so I was in journalism club, crochet club, and Turkish club (because who can't pass on free baklava and Turkish delight?). I also like studying particle physics on my own because I'm awesome like that.

College/ Career Aspirations
I am currently considering applying to Emory, Georgia Tech, and possibly Oxford (though I am quite certain that I will be rejected) for my undergraduate degree, which will be a dual major in chemistry and physics (or only one of the two if I go to Oxford). Should I go to Oxford, I will not have to change schools for my master's degree; otherwise, I will go to any of the other listed schools for grad school and apply to Oxford for my PhD. I am expecting to get my graduate degrees in either analytical chemistry or particle physics, but things may change by then...

Oh, and if you can't tell, I'm obsessed with getting into Oxford.
