Application

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I haven't been on CC for a while, but now that early applications are finished, I have the time to peruse a few threads.</p>

<p>@Sheed: You're right that I'm weak in the analysis area. I've never taken differential equations, and I'm not that good with them either. Modern Algebra is more abstract; it requires no background at all except for linear algebra, but it is more manipulative and intuitive.</p>

<p>@Keshira: Debate is something that requires a lot of logic and reasoning similar to that used in mathematics. Eloquence is certainly part of it, but I think what makes the biggest difference in a debate is how prepared you are and how familiar you are with your lines of reasoning.</p>

<p>Thanks for the comments, but I don't like to think of myself as "better" than anyone else. Everyone is good at something; I admire people who love drawing, literature, or even poker. I think that everyone here who loves what they do has a competitive chance at their dream school.</p>

<p>That being said, does anyone know when early application results come out?</p>

42

<p>everything should come out before Dec. 15th-MIT and Caltech are often a little earlier. But I wouldn't be surprised if they send you ur acceptance like this weekend or something LOL.</p>

43

<p>holy ****, ur application shocks me..an athlete, an orator and a math genius? what a combination</p>

44

<p>lol, i wrote a book on him.... jk jk jk jk j k</p>

45

<p>haha ur in to any school u want. dont even have to apply :) jkjk YAY TAIWANESE PPL!</p>

46

<p>dude i dont even know what any of those math awards mean.</p>

47

<p>reallly????????????</p>

48

<p>haha really why are u posting this. how can u have like a 14/15 on the AIME and still have any doubtt whether or not u'll get into everything</p>

49

<p>holy crap?</p>

50

<p>is this a joke? </p>

<p><em>sigh</em> i wish so much it were. it breaks my soul.</p>

51

<p>Only a 770 on the BioSat? I don't even know if you'll make community college now.</p>

52

<p>I second dfall. How do you find time to manage all these things? You must not be a human! Jk jk jk</p>

<p>Wanna hear about ur ED</p>

53

<p>you wrote a book that was published in tawain! whoa. i think you will be fine.</p>

54

<p>Yeah, this dude seriously needs to tell us where he got accepted ED. This guy can't be human. ~paranoia~ Never trust math geniuses; they are robots in disguise ~paranoia~ lol just kidding man!</p>

55

<p>I got into MIT, Caltech, and UCLA. Waitlisted at Harvard. Should I go for the waitlist?</p>

56

<p>no, go to MIT</p>

57

<p>i have a feeling the OP is lying. this is like ridiculous. accepted at any school you apply to.</p>

58

<p>It really depends....</p>

<ol>
<li>Compare the financial aid packages (if you received any, I dunno if you got any because you're living in Taiwan but you're still a US citizen) that each school gave you.</li>
<li>Visit the schools, including Harvard. Do you feel really at home in any one of them in particular? Don't "go for the waitlist" just because of Harvard's name; remember that you'll be spending the next 4 years of your life in and around one of these institutions, so make sure you're comfortable there.</li>
</ol>

<p>Congratulations on all of your acceptances. I know you will make the best choice as to where you will go.</p>

<p>~Lilypuppy~</p>

59

<p>you have great stats..</p>

<p>i have found however that someone has a higher chance of getting in to those Ivies with something really out there..like scuba diving or modeling..</p>

<p>so..maybe you should write your essays on something really unique. </p>

<p>just a thought.</p>

<p>goodluck!</p>

<p>I really hope that there's only like 9-10 more people in the world that are as incredible as this guy.... Otherwise i'm screwed. ;&lt;/p>

<p>Anyways, yeah, don't worry at all. You have perfect SAT's, USAMO, National Sports and Debate Championships, MUN National Championships, and perfect grades.. You don't need to worry.</p>
