Can I get in? CHANCE ME.

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>You think I can get into Rice or Princeton? If not, can you recommend some places that are known for their science and math that you think I could get into. </p>

<p>GPA: Not exactly sure, but it's not below a 3.5. And I'd say that's pushing it.</p>

<p>SAT II: Terrible, the first time I took it I didn't even have Alg II and I haven't taken it since, but I'm going to retake it. But, let us just use something easy: 2000. (est next time)</p>

<p>Ranking: Top 25% at the least. But I don't exactly follow everyones grades. </p>

<p>Hooks: Hindu, Greek, lives in West Virginia (considered minority), income below 10,000 a year, male, welfare and food stamp recipient family ( frown ), I'll be the first person in my family to go to college, (would my family being slaves in Turkey until Greece gained its independence be any good?), when I graduate I'll have 19 science/math credits (most in my schools history). I'm President of the Science National Honor Society at my school, and I also founded the chapter of it at my school. I may even be the first person in my direct family to graduate high school also. I taught myself how to play violin last march and have been accepted into my counties string program with people who've been played their entire lives. </p>

<p>Most difficult classes taken upon graduation: AP Physics, AP Chemistry, AP Stats, AP Calculus. That's all my school has to offer.</p>

<p>I take a lot of extra courses online, and take open courses through MIT, Yale, Harvard, et cetera. And I was thinking about including them when I apply. </p>

<p>I can probably come up with more if you guys want me to, but until you ask this is all I have. </p>

<p>I'm still only a Junior, so I have time to increase my chances!</p>

<p>Unfortunately, you are not a minority to US colleges unless you’re black, Hispanic or native American.</p>

<p>Generally, considerably higher grades and scores will be necessary for these schools.</p>

<p>You have not given us solid credentials to chance you by. However, with what you have presented, your schools are all huge reaches. I don’t know of any schools off the top of my head with good science programs but if I come across anything I’ll be sure to tell you. Chance me?? My thread is “Wheel of Chance”</p>

<p>please chance this <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1057817-chance-potentate.html#post1066135834[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1057817-chance-potentate.html#post1066135834&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>So basically, I need to step my game up?</p>

<p>You have a very very very very very low chance.
There are kids with 4.0’s applying and much better credentials.
Princeton is out of the picture.</p>
