This is interesting. My son’s (girl) friend (they are both juniors) has actual stats of:
-UW: 4, W:5
-SAT: 2400
-ACT: 36 Both SAT and ACT perfect scores were on first tries at the tests end of Soph. year
-PSAT: perfect score, 1520 I think? Taken after both the SAT and ACT
-Taken all APs, 5s on all the tests, she’s only a Junior so the school is letting her do indep. study next year because it has run out of AP maths
-studied Chemistry at Harvard last summer and worked at a homeless shelter in her free time there
-Won numerous science, math, history, writing, MUN, and other awards
-President of many clubs, has developed outreach in the community for homeless shelters to exchange info with each other and work together
-awarded pianist
-beautiful, witty, hilarious, caring, empathic, completely normal in every way, humble, all around outstanding person, great work ethic but doesn’t kill herself studying - she is just crazy smart - and manages her time well
She is concern that she won’t get into her first choice schools (Harvard and Princeton - thinks Stanford is too much of a reach) because she is Chinese.
What do ya’ll think? No doubt she will land in a great place, but can she get in her first choices? Or would colleges reject her just to say they did?
@tmeg01 Wow, if those are real then she should have a great (above average chance). They’re almost as good as mine lol, (my fake one above)
That fake one by ayyyyylmao back in the Penn thread was dope.
@ambitious96 yes, those are her real stats. I’m sure there are more I don’t know about. She is very humble and doesn’t like to discuss it. She has been in the paper and tv news lately about the perfect ACT, SAT and PSAT scores. She truly is concerned about getting into her first choice schools though - it’s a lot of pressure on her. Both of her parents are research scientists with a local hospital and she doesn’t have any adversity to speak of. Also hasn’t cured a disease, doesn’t have a patent (that I know of), and not an athlete. So yeah, she knows that Harvard isn’t a sure thing.
I don’t envy you kids at all today. Everything is so much harder for you - and the economy you face (ruined by the generations before you) is shaky and uncertain. Things were so much easier in your parents’ day. At least you all are smart enough to fix this crappy world you’ve inherited.
hahaha well these are legit.
My LEGITIMATE (<:-P) stats:
GPA: UW:4 W:5 duhh
SAT: 2400 (got this when i was 8 with no study)
ACT: 36 (2 easy 4 me, 1st try, age 8)
EC’s:
CURED CANCER AT AGE 7
I PLAY 4 THIS TEAM CALLED ‘LA LAKERS’ SINCE AGE 4
10 VARSITY SPORTS AND OF COURSE CAPTAIN
i am God.
Okay, I think this is crossing the line from legitimate applications to the unrealistic (e.g. performed Rachmaninoff’s 3rd Piano Concerto with the NY Philharmonic when I was 4, and also managed to prove the twin prime conjecture when I was 10).
@tmeg01 Affirmative action against us Asian-Americans is beyond brutal. She’s definitely not guaranteed admission to those schools, but I’d be surprised if she were rejected from all of them.
@yinous I live in the south and some white people here want to end affirmative action re race because Latino and African American kids with lesser stats get admitted before them. They totally overlook the fact that many white kids are being accepted over Asian kids with better stats.
I wish I could actually have those stats!!
I mean I’m a freshman in hs, so there is hope!!
RIGHT? ;
yes of course!
This made me laugh a lot - thanks guys!
OK here we go…
