Care to give a "mediocre asian" chances for his almost finalized list?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>And thank you mariaj91 for that input, one of the few actual chances :wink: But yes, according to my counselor, I should have absolutely no problem with Rutgers.</p>

22

<p>Iā€™ve never actually done any competitions, just more for my own enjoyment. However, I do spend around 1-2 hours every 2 weeks or so taking pictures and then I develop them myself.</p>

23

<p>Still havenā€™t really gotten any chances minus that most are reachesā€¦</p>

24

<p>are you by any chance from NVOT/NVD?</p>

25

<p>i just looked into UNC-Chapel Hill on collegeboard.comā€¦and it seems as a good fit for youā€¦deff apply:]</p>

26

<p>How does he not have outstanding ECā€™s?? Hes been playing the piano for 12 years!! geez!!</p>

27

<p>Other than music, I really donā€™t have much, I think thatā€™s the point people are making. However, I am trying to emphasize my passion for music in my essays, lol.</p>

<p>And mariaj91, the only ting with UNC is that Iā€™d be applying OOS, so my stats would need to be higher than the ones listed on the Collegeboard website. Iā€™ve even read that most people applying OOS have a better chance at Duke than UNC, not sure how much truth that holds though. Although I suppose being an Asian male might help a bit more at UNC.</p>

<p>Not sure what NVOT/NVD is, so I canā€™t really give an answer to that question.</p>

<p>to satscholar just playing piano for 12 years doesnā€™t mean much
What if a person said they played soccer for 12 years. It is not that big of an EC</p>

29

<p>And yes, Ec10 is correct to, considering the fact that it is a fairly common EC. Plus the fact that I donā€™t do competitions. I only play for 8-10 hrs a week anyways, so itā€™s nothing THAT amazing, but itā€™s better than nothing and I guess it at least shows commitment and dedication.</p>

<p>If youā€™re talking about Bā€™s and Cā€™s , then Iā€™m assuming your UW gpa is around 3.5 at best, which is definitely not good. Your AP scores arenā€™t good either. If I were you, Iā€™d just not send in anything from CB, only ACT. </p>

<p>U of Chicago (EA) - deferred/rejected (only way you could accepted if your essay + recs are AMAZING.)
NYU (Stern)- 40%
USC -50%
BU- match
Brown- rejected
Rutgers- accepted
UC Berkeley- rejected
UCLA- rejected
UCSD- accepted
Stanford- rejected
Columbia-rejected
Georgetown- reach
UMich-slight reach
UNC-Chapel Hill- rejected</p>

<p>Ok, well I used on online GPA calculator to find my UW GPAs for academic classes only, and this is what they are:</p>

<p>9: 3.68
10: 2.94
11: 3.42
12 (1st quarter): 3.78</p>

<p>So yeah, thatā€™s UW, almost all my classes have been honors or AP (Depending on what the hardest offered were). So if that helps at all, those are my GPA. (and itā€™s been only 1 C, which was a C+, mainly B to A-)</p>

<p>And thank you for your help CNI. You actually covered the most about my top 3 (Chicago, NYU, and USC).</p>
