Chance a Confused Texan surrounded by negative people

Chance Me / Match Me!
81

<p>Your stats are amazing. I would be shocked if you don’t get into one of the top schools. How can you brother have stronger stats than this? He must be at a great school himself. Also, 50 points difference on the SAT won’t make or break decisions. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>Harvard-Reach, but great chance
Yale-Reach, but great chance
Stanford-Reach, but great chance
CalTech-Low Reach
Duke (Robertson and Angus B Duke Scholarships)-IN (not sure about the scholarship though)
Rice-IN
Clemson (National Scholars Program)-IN
Washington and Lee (Johnson Scholarship)-IN
Texas A&M (safety, scholarship?)-IN
Texas Tech (safety, scholarship?)-IN
LSU (safety, scholarship?)-IN
Tulsa (Presidential Scholarship?)-IN
Alabama (University Fellows Program???)-IN</p>

<p>Update: got a likely letter from rice!!! but i didnt even make it to the next round of robertson.</p>

<p>CONGRATS! </p>

<p>With a resume and application like yours, you should have a very good chance at most of those schools. Why are the people around you so negative? They have NO reason to be.</p>

84

<p>thanks. A lot of people are telling me that the ivy league/upper tier schools have filled their “slots” for people like me.</p>

85

<p>YOU are one of those who filled their slots!<br>
Who ARE those negative people anyhow? Do they work at admissions offices for super elites, HYPS??? Don’t listen to them.</p>

86

<p>no some of them are my teachers, other adults who have seen their kids get rejected, or their kid’s friends rejected.</p>

87

<p>You have great chances! I would call you a match for your top schools, except Caltech (same reason as the poster before-- b/c that doesn’t seem to be your interest)</p>

88

<p>Maybe they just want to protect your feelings. It’s true that at HYPS they get more qualified apps than they can admit. </p>

<p>Thank goodness those negative people are not just trying to bring you down. </p>

<p>Love your rodeo over there, too!</p>

89

<p>hahaha thanks! yeah our rodeo is pretty famous, but i have never been. I guess that people who live in a town don’t often go to the things their town is famous for. Like New yorkers and the statue of liberty or somethin’.</p>

<p>Wow, I’m very jealous of your stats.</p>

<p>Since many people have already chanced you, I can help you with the scholarship thing for LSU.</p>

<p>First off, I hope you already applied to LSU b/c the admission people at LSU would be idiots if they accept you ,and you give you enough money for a free ride.</p>

<p>It also helps that you want to go into engineering. LSU has an excellent engineering program, and the school offers out big bucks.</p>
