<p>Hi:
It’d be awesome if you could tell me my chances. (:</p>

<p>Schools:
UChicago, Yale, Stanford, Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, UMichigan, Rensselaer Polytech, Northeastern, Georgetown</p>

<p>ACT: 36; (Reading + Math 36; Science + English 35)
PSAT: 223
AP: 5s on Chinese, Statistics, Calc BC, Environmental Science
Have taken Calc 3 (sophomore year)
IB student: taking/will take tests for SL: Physics, Psychology, Spanish and HL: Math, English, History
Unweighted GPA: 4/4
Class rank: 1/434</p>

<p>Awards:
2nd Place at DECA Internationals
1st Place at FBLA State; national qualifier
Forensics national qualifier
Rensselaer Medalist</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:

<p>Fotogenik:
Harvard: Reach(able)
Yale: Reach(able)
Princeton: Reach(able)
Stanford: Reach(able)
Columbia: mid-reach
UChicago: low/mid-reach
Georgetown: high match </p>

<p>In everywhere else. With that said, you have absolutely phenomenal stats and great accomplishments, but with acceptance rates at 8% or lower, you can never be sure at places like HYPS, Columbia, and Chicago. Seeing that you were part of Colorado Chinese Association, you’re definitely not a URM or have any other hooks to give you a big boost. Keep working hard and make sure you come across as a passionate person in your essays and teacher recs.</p>

<p>I am very appreciative that you are doing this. </p>

<p>Colleges (ranked by preference):
Vanderbilt (will do ED)
NYU
U of I Champaign
Colgate
Purdue
U Chicago</p>

<p>White Male, from Northern Illinois
3rd Generation in College
Family makes about $170,000 (dad is a firefighter, mom works for VA)
One sibling in college</p>

<p>I plan to dual major in PolySci and History, to go to Law School.
I’m currently a Junior, so I’ll make reasonable estimates for senior year. </p>

<p>GPA UW: 3.93 (will be higher when the semester ends)
GPA W: 4.5 (will be higher when the semester ends)
Class Rank: 5 of 332
Counting senior year, 12 AP classes:</p>

<p>Sophomore Year: AP Euro (5), AP Microecon (4) and AP Macroecon (4)
Junior Year: APUSH, AP Psych, AP Bio, AP Lang and Comp.
Senior Year: AP Physics B, AP Human Geo, AP French, AP Lit and Comp., AP Gov, and AP Calc AB</p>

<p>All A’s in AP classes</p>

<p>ACT:
Composite: 33
English: 34
Math: 31
Reading: 34
Science: 32</p>

<p>Since I did the PSAE ACT, I don’t have writing, but will in June. Because of AP Lang, I’m awesome at argumentative essays, so no problems there. I’m also trying for a 34 in June.</p>

<p>Leadership:
2 Year Debate Team Captain (as captain, I run most things)
4 Year Academic Team Captain (2 years JV, 2 years Varsity)
Fox Valley Leadership Conference (only like 20 kids from the school go)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
4 Years Debate
4 Years Academic Team
National Honor Society (inducted like last week, as my school only starts recruiting junior year)
Being on Principal’s Advisory Council next year is probable</p>

<p>Awards:
At least 7 awards from debate (including multiple from state tournaments), will be more senior year
3 MVP awards for Academic Team (from a tournament), plus one top scorer award at a tournament (top scorer out of all participants)
Led Debate Team (as captain)to 4th in state this year
Led Academic Team (as captain) to 1st in Conference Last Year (JV)
AP Scholar
AP Scholar with Distinction (as of next year)</p>

<p>Community Service:
25 or so hours to this point
Probable 60 more over the summer</p>

<p>Recommendations:
One from my debate coach for a personal/ leadership rec.
One from my Junior Year Pre Calc teacher (a class I struggled a bit in, but brought to an A)
One from my Junior Year AP Lang. Teacher or Sophomore Year AP Euro. teacher</p>

<p>All three will be excellent recs</p>

<p>Essays:
I’m a strong writer because of AP Lang. I’m starting this summer, so I’ll make sure they are fantastic. For a scholarship (don’t know the results of yet), I wrote that I’d have a conversation with Voltaire, and I wrote about the influence debate has had upon me. I will probably write similar things to this. </p>

<p>As you can probably tell, I am very dedicated to debate. It has also profoundly impacted me, and will be the subject of any essays/interviews. I am an excellent public speaker, but I doubt that this means much. </p>

<p>Again, thanks for doing this.</p>
