<p>I'm an Indian-born Canadian citizen living in California. I attend the 9th best school in the State, it's very competitive, we're a feeder school for UC Berkeley, a ton of UCs and we had 5 kids already accepted early to Stanford this year, amongst earlies to Brown, Cornell, 2 to Harvard, etc.</p>

<p>I'm a competitive speaker and debater. Amongst many many many top three finishes at league tournaments in Student Congress, International/National Extemporaneous, Original Advocacy, Parli Debate, Cross Ex Debate I have the following notable accomplishments:</p>

<p>Ranked 3rd in the State of CA in International Extemp last year</p>

<p>Ranked 8th in the State of CA in International Extemp my soph year</p>

<p>National Finalist at the 2004 NFL National Championships in Student Congress (top 20 in the nation)</p>

<p>I have a crapload of finalist finishes at tourneys like Stanford, Cal, i'll be flying to Emory to compete at the Barkley Forum tournament later this month, hopefully I can schedule an on-campus interview. I'm Captain of the Extemp team (the best team in the State), I'm an officer on the speech team. Was cofounder and treasurer of Conservative Club, co-founder and secretary of Indian club, Tech Editor and Assistant EIC of a indepedent student news magazine (much like the economist), I'm a Defense Attorney and Pretrial Attorney on my schools highly competitive mock trial team. I've been a youth group leader in my local temple every week for the past four years. Played volleyball soph year, got a couple of meaningless awards like scholar athlete and mvp.</p>

<p>My slight hook: my parents moved our fam from Canada 4 years ago and they own a few UPS Stores. I've worked at the stores every day for four years, I have like 5000 hours of work experience. Through work, I got in contact with the CEO of a large Indian airline and I've been given an internship for the summer after my senior year.</p>

<p>My essays were decent I guess, I dunno, im a pretty good writer. My recs are impeccable because i've had my eng teacher for two years and my speech coach/teacher also wrote me a letter.</p>

<p>Im not applying for financial aid and im applying undeclared arts and sciences, but my app has a STRONG business/econ theme because of work and the whole "immigrants American Dream thing"</p>

<p>I submitted at the beginning of December. when should I hear?</p>

<p>I have no idea when you should hear back, but you seem like a really strong candidate. No one is a shoo-in, but my guess is that you'll get in. :) For what it's worth, you're more qualified than many kids from my school that have been accepted.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I'd say you were in.

<p>miramonte high school</p>

<p>I would say you have a good but not great chance of getting in. Your SAT and GPA are very good, but you applied a little late. Had you applied in September or even October, I would have told you you are as good as in. But applying in December makes things a little hairier!</p>

<p>Keep us posted.</p>

<p>Yeah, the thing is. I had a 1250 on the SAT 1 as of October 9th. I retook the SAT on October 10th. My app materials, rec letters, essays werent even close to being done around that time.</p>
