2) science #2- took one class with him and got an a, went to office hours every week, ta\'ed with him, still on really good terms
3) non-science- took five classes with him (lol) + a\'s in all of them, was in an honors seminar/section type thing with him, also went to lots of office hours, also do volunteer work with him
4) research PI- met with him 2x per week, worked on an indp project with him, he called me \"the best undergrad our lab\'s ever had\"

most significant ECs: research (3 yrs, did independent project, no pubs but that was mostly because a project failed for two yrs before my PI moved me to another one... and i discussed this in my app a bit), TAing, and student council leadership positions (was on council for 2 years, held at least 4 ish positions overall, did a ton of things like oversaw/ran/planned an event of 1000+ ppl, budgets, designed merch, publicity, etc.)

other ones: premed org where i also had a lot of leadership roles + did volunteer work, shadowing, pbk and other honors, my jobs (where i worked at all 3 yrs of undergrad + discussed this too because i\'m an OOS student so i needed to work for loans/bills)

gap year activities (+ and i\'ve sent update letters to those i could): working full-time in a lab with publication coming soon, volunteering in ER, hosting book discussions for pregnant/parenting teens, volunteering in a classroom for homeless children, on the college relay for life planning committee, volunteer in a free clinic in mexico
