Chance A Hispanic For The Ivy League

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>So, I have sent all the apps in and am happy about that. I merely seek some predictions at this point to kind of get me ready for what will happen in April.</p>

<p>SAT I: 2180
CR: 670
W:780
M: 730</p>

<p>SAT II's: US History 800, Math IIC 780, Spanish 790</p>

<p>Most rigorous courseload: All honors, will have taken 12 AP's by end of senior year</p>

<p>GPA: 3.95 UW, 4.72 W</p>

<p>Rank: 1/653</p>

<p>EC's:
Kenpo Karate 7 years (black belt 1st degree, I taught classes for beginning students for two years)
Football 3 years
Wrestling 4 years
Key Club Member 3 years
Weightlifting 3 years (more of a hobby, but I dedicate time to it. I am rather buff)
California Scholarship Federation Member
Lots of community service</p>

<p>Essays: Great from what i hear.
Recs: Counselor Rec is awesome, didn't see one teacher rec, the other teacher rec is pretty good, but not amazing.</p>

<p>Went to Stanford Summer program, aced both classes I took there.</p>

<p>Awards:
2005 United American Martial Arts Association State Champion, 2004 United States Karate Alliance regional Champion, presidential scholar award at two cal state universities, AP Scholar With Distinction, League championships in wrestling, Principal Honor Roll, Cum Laude Society (school doesn't have valedictorian), Principal's Leadership Award,</p>

<p>Hooks: Hispanic (mom from Mexico, dad from El Salvador), first one in my family to go to college, first generation American,</p>

<p>I realize I don't have "leadership" positions in clubs, but I just don't like clubs. They are kinda silly and mean much less than people make em out to be. I have tried to stay true to what I love, like combat sports and lifting. I am hoping adcoms will see that and not ding me for not being the vice president of every club on campus.</p>

<p>Low middle class background, although I come from a family of 7.</p>

<p>What are my chances at:
Harvard
Stanford
Columbia
U Penn
Brown
Princetion
UCLA
Berkeley</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I don't think you can guarantee acceptance into any ivy league like Columbia, Upenn, Brown...however you do have a very good chance with your URM hook.</p>

<p>i would say really good chances at Berkely and UCLA because instate. But still decent chances at UPenn and Brown. Stanford and Columbia, decent chances still, but harder than UPenn and Brown(Stanford less so maybe because of summer program). And no one ever knows about Princeton and Harvard, but I'd say you have okay chances there too. That's just my opinion though, you will really never know until April, Good Luck!</p>

<p>you are probably one of the top hispanic students applying to hyp this year.im not exaggerating when i say that</p>

<p>Haha, people like you are making it hard for us mediocre hispanic students! LOL. Seeing all the things you have done shows that you can be a leader, even without joining hundreds of clubs. I honestly think that you will get into most of those schools that you apply to. You have worked hard and it shows: students with like you are rare and you being hispanic is even rarer.
Congrats on being the first to go to college, you are proving that hispanic people are smart, important community members as much as anybody else.
Good Luck!</p>
