What should my theme/contrast profile be?
Answered

I’m a freshman interested in biomedical sciences, medicine, research, humanitarianism, writing, art and computer science. I believe this is too much of a range, so what contrast profile should I focus on?

I would focus on the contrast between the profiles that are most different and less commonly paired - this way, you will stand out more in the admissions process. Medicine and art or computer science and art would fit the bill if you are interested in such niche intersections.

With that said, made sure than you have real passion behind any profile you choose. Hope this helps!
