<p>You have have seen this before, but I haven't gotten a clear answer.</p>

<p>Me- Junior at Phillips, Andover, parents from Middle East, live in MA</p>

<p>Academic-</p>

<p>9th grade at public HS, had a 4.518 GPA</p>

<p>Sophmore Year-
Grading System on a 0-6 scale, 5 and 6 are honors grades, school GPA average is 4.5 unweighted (school doesn't weigh)</p>

<p>Sophmore English Fall-6, Winter-5, Spring-5, Final-5
Second Year French- 5,6,6,6
BC Calc-6.5.6.6 (5/5 on AP)
AP Chem- 5,5,6,5 (5 on AP)
Sophmore History (Fall,one term) 4
Religion/Philosophy (Diplomia Requirement, one term, Winter) 4
PE (one term, spring)-Pass
Java Computer Programming (one term, Spring) 6</p>

<p>In the Spring term, I had a 6.0 GPA (according to my advisor, our school rounds to the nearest .5). Only about .7% of students have a 6.0.</p>

<p>Junior Year-</p>

<p>Course......Projected Grade
Junior English 5
Third Year French 5/maybe 6
Organic Chemistry 5/6
AP Physics 5/6
Multivariable Calc 6</p>

<p>Organic Chem is a one term course, so I'm replacing it with Molec Bio Research next term.</p>

<p>EC's (Just the major ones)</p>

<p>Cross Country
Track
Math Club (a bunch of competitions)
Science Club (placed 1st in school science bowl)
Mock Trial (co-founder and co-president, this will be our first year)
Summer job at a small company, helped them make a website, isn't much though</p>

<p>I'm guessing my PSATs were something like high 60s/lows 70s verbal, 80 math, low-mid 70s writing. My SAT II (IIC and Chem) are both 800's.</p>

<p>I can definetly get great rec's.</p>

<p>In/out at:
Harvard
MIT
Caltech
Stanford
Princeton
Dartmouth</p>

<p>Also, RSI, SSP?</p>

<p>come back in a year when you've taken the real SAT's and can put your overall gpa for 9-11 grade.</p>

3

<p>Well, what if you assume my SAT is around 2150 (750M/700/700). I've been getting that on practice tests. Also, assume my GPA remains the same.</p>

<p>Are you a junior? Don't worry about college admissions to this extent til you're ready to apply, you'll have a much better idea of your chances and of what you're interested in then...</p>

<p>Right now it's even more speculative than it is when you're a second term senior</p>

5

<p>u know u need a 'peer' recomendation for Dartmouth? That's annoying.</p>

6

<p>Ouch, that would be. I wonder how many people give it to their imaginary friend?</p>

<p>I know I want to go into science.</p>

<p>How about RSI and SSP?</p>

<p>Bump Bump Bump</p>

<p>bump (chars)</p>

<p>i applied to phillips andover. i live in haverhill. i got waitlisted:( o and by the way i definitely think you will be accepted to all schools on your list. Your stats are extraordinary.</p>

10

<p>wow giving confidence is one thing... but all the schools? certainly decent chances, but still unknown if you'll get in</p>

11

<p>Whats so extraordinary about them? And also, what about RSI and SSP?</p>

12

<p>phillips is like the best school in the nation, with the brightest students, and ur getting like nearly flawless grades. you have great extracurriculars, and u went to RSI, and your SAT scores look very solid. i honestly do u think u could get into almost any school.</p>

He's applying right now. He's a junior.</p>

<p>Harvard - out
MIT - in
Caltech - in
Stanford - iffy
Princeton - out
Dartmouth - in</p>

14

<p>Hmmm...., I'll take that. Any thoughts on RSI or SSP?</p>

15

<p>You say "parents from Middle East" as though that is part of your qualifications to help you get in. It's really not that unique.</p>

16

<p>o my bad on the rsi..misread. anyway yeah u still have a great shot.</p>

17

<p>Well I thought that might make me a sort of minority, but then again I guess not.</p>

<p>Could anyone here give any comments about RSI and SSP chances?</p>

18

<p>No chance at RSI. Try your luck at SSP instead.</p>

19

<p>NO chance? Why not?</p>

<p>all you have are academics. anything else? awards? internships?</p>
