recommendation letter allen marina



October 10, 2004 

To whom it may concern 

It is with very great pleasure that I write this recommendation for Allen Cheng to support his application 

for admission into Harvard. Allen has a deep passion for science and has been one of the few 

exceptionally gifted students that I have encountered in my career as an Advanced Placement Chemistry 

teacher. Among his many achievements and accomplishments, Allen's performance on a battery of 

Chemistry Olympiad exams taken by approximately 11,000 students nationwide recently secured him 

the position as the second alternate for the U.S. Chemistry Olympiad team, ranking 6th in the country 

for a team which represented our nation in the International Chemistry Olympiad competition in 

Germany this past spring. As a senior, Allen hopes to surpass his performance once more in hopes of 

securing a solid position as one of the four members on the 2005 US. Chemistry Olympiad team this 

coming spring. 

 I first encountered Allen when he was a sophomore in my AP Chemistry class. He was the youngest 

student in the class of upper classmen, but he was the top excelling student among the two sections of 

AP Chemistry ctasses that I taught during the 2002-2003 academic year. As a sophomore, he worked 

very well with others, mastered laboratory techniques, earned the top score on the AP Chemistry Exam, 

and was one of the top performers on the National Chemistry Olympiad Exam that year.  

As one of the top performers on the National Chemistry Olympiad Exam in 2003, Allen was one of 

twenty students in the nation who qualified to be a participant in the United States National Chemistry 

Olympiad National Team in the spring that year. He spent an extensive amount of time studying 

independently in order to ensure that he would cover all of the topics that our class did not yet study 

and often sought additional instruction during hunch und after during which he asked questions and 

performed labs from previous Chemistry Olympiad competitions for practice. When results were 

published, Allen was ecstatic to have qualified as one of the twenty participants in the U.S. Chemistry 

Olympiad Study Camp and he enjoyed the experience training for the International Chemistry Olympiad 

during which he was exposed to Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, 

Biochemistry, etc., branches of science typically encountered at the college level.  

As a member of my Advanced Placement Chemistry class, I have found Allen to be an intelligent, 

conscientious, motivated and responsible student who masters theory and applies it well. He 

academically excelled among his peers, often explained concepts to confused classmates, actively 

participated during discussion, asked questions to ensure that he had a firm understanding of concepts, 

and sought additional sources for supplementary problem solving exercises. As a scientist, he was 

always meticulous when performing experiments, he led his lab group to successfully complete 

experiments, he wrote great detailed analytical lab reports, and he worked well with others. Allen is a 

self-motivated, dedicated, hardworking student of high intelligence who can grasp difficult concepts, 

think critically and handle the rigor of a competitive college environment. He exhibits the qualities of a 

leader and promising scientist who truly loves science. 

Allen truly impresses me as a student who actively seeks new experiences which support his love for 

science. This past summer, Allen was a participant at the Research Science Institute at MIT where he 

conducted research in the field of neuroscience. In addition, Allen has been conducting research with 

the Jisan Research Institute under the guidance of a professor for two years and has recently 

coauthored a paper which was published and presented in the LASTED International Conference on 

Robotics and Applications in Hawaii this year. In addition to conducting research, has also been 

volunteering a Methodist Hospital and in an immunology lab at the City of Hope National Medical 

Center where he has been able to strengthen his general laboratory skills. He is clearly an independent, 

active member of society who pursues personal interests.  




Beyond his academic excellence, Allen is a charismatic individual who is respected and liked by faculty 

and peers. Throughout his high school cancer, Allen often stopped by my room during lunch to take my 

AP Chemistry tests to review his general chemistry, but he also often stopped by during lunch or after 

school to chat about his latest developments, events in school, or other various topics. His maturity and 

charisma are qualities that are quite rare among high school students. He interacts well with his peers 

be it in the classroom setting or with the broader diverse student population where he is well known as 

a balanced individual with a warm personality and sense of humor. He balances his time well by 

excelling heavy coaric Toad filled with advanced placement classes and he also participates in various 

school and community activities, including our school's academic teams which provide a structured yet 

fun forum for competition and learning Allen is a well rounded individual who clearly enjoys a challenge. 

 Overall, Allen exhibits the qualities of a leader as well as a great scientist who has had ample research 

experience and excels academically in challenging college level courses. He is an intelligent, well-

rounded, and grounded individual who challenges himself and actively seeks new opportunities and 

experiences. He has the determination, maturity, and intelligence to succeed in any endeavor and 

always maintains a positive attitude. His academic and personal achievements show that he is 

committed to his education and will work hard to achieve his goals. He exudes confidence and has a 

vivid, outgoing, and friendly personality that allows him to get along with others very well in any setting. 

I admire him for his intelligence, sincerity, honesty, and integrity and I am impressed by his discipline as 



an independent learner. He is a highly motivated individual with a thirst for knowledge.
