Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm an Asian male from a fairly good suburban public school in upstate NY. I wonder if I'm 1337 enough to get into the following schools:</p>

<p>MIT (EA)
Caltech (EA)
Stanford
Cornell
U of Chicago
U Penn</p>

<p>Grades, GPA, whatever you're supposed to call that stuff:
97.2 </p>

<p>My school isn't into the 4.0 scale. Or the weighting business.</p>

<p>There was quite a bit of a drop in my average last year:
average in 9th grade: 97.2
average in 10th grade: 97.8
average in 11th grade: 96.8 :(</p>

<p>I should still be in the top 2/320ish in my class. I was first last year, and the class rank isn't updated until November. I also have the highest AP count in my class.</p>

<p>Various Tests:</p>

<p>SAT I: 800M/770V (I will also take the new version in October)
SAT II: 800 in Math 2, Physics, and US History
APs: 5 in calc BC (grade 9), World History, Stats, Comp Sci AB (grade 10), US History, Euro History, English Language, Chem, Physics B, Physics C Mechanics and E/M (grade 11)</p>

<p>AMC-12: 132.5
AIME: 5 (Frown Town)</p>

<p>Extracurricular things:</p>

<p>-Science Olympiad since 7th grade, went to state competition (but not nationals) 4 times, got three medals at states last year
-ranked #1 in my grade in grades 9, 10, and 11 in the local math league
-I went to a bunch of other math competitions: NYSML, ARML, HMMT, but I did really crappily in most of them.
-I did some research this summer at the University of Rochester; hopefully, I'll dominate the Intel STS
-I played the violin for a whole bunch of years, and I have been in some youth orchestra since ninth grade.
-I have a major lack of community service, maybe something like 60 hours (will be more like 120 by the time I submit the EA applications). Most of this is in the form of tutoring. I wonder if the research counts as community service, as I'm still doing the research, but I'm not getting paid for it anymore.</p>

<p>-I can probably list more activities, but those activities aren't as important.</p>

2

<p>You have as good of a chance as any other applicant. You have very strong grades, and test scores. Good luck.</p>

3

<p>amazing stats</p>

4

<p>Also apply to UofR so you have a safety and you are set. Write good essays, start collecting your teacher recs NOW and best wishes.</p>

5

<p>Great shot everywhere. Good luck!</p>

6

<p>Got my son to translate ... yes, I think you're 1337 enough.</p>

7

<p>dude,, you can get in,,, depend on your essays.</p>

8

<p>If your research is good and you make Intel/Westinghouse, then you're in. Otherwise, you won't make it.</p>

9

<p>Doesn't Intel announce its semifinalists after EA decisions?</p>

10

<p>By any chance did you attend an FTE camp in Ohio this summer?</p>

11

<p>No FTE here.</p>

12

<p>Any college math?</p>

13

<p>Very impressive stats. Better than mine, certainly, at least in the math/sci arena as well as the APs. Good luck!</p>

14

<p>you're one math genius alright. 132 on the AMC. Damn. You totally ripped my score apart. I think your score is even higher than my math teacher, he took it for fun though. If you don't get into those schools, I don't know who will.</p>

15

<p>meanvaluetheorem, I'm taking Differential Equations throught Stanford EPGY. Last year, I sorta taught myself multivariable calc and linear algebra.</p>

16

<p>I love the mean value theorem. How did you enroll into the Stanford EPGY (I'm not sure what that stands for)?</p>

17

<p>epgy is a program that lets high school kids take classes online.</p>

18

<p>OMG..... you r the biggest nerd on cc (thats an accomplishment)... you probably dont have much of a life but your definitely going to a good school... your in at all except maybe MIT?... no what am I thinking your in at all</p>

19

<p>and oh yeah from now on save the chance posts for ppl who actually question there chances (ME for instance)</p>

<p>terry, can you get much more rude than that?</p>
