<p>No APs? Did you take most rigorous course?</p>

3

<p>Are you serious?</p>

<p>why even bother asking us?</p>

<p>Here is my detailed guess:</p>

<p>Accepted.
To all</p>

<p>/ thread</p>

<p>im asking because there r 2-3 classmates ahead of me academically
our school sends like 2-3 to princeton every year, 2-3 to Penn, and usually 1 to Yale, but we almost never have people get into Harvard and Stanford, even the ones to get into Princeton, Penn, and Yale</p>

<p>Bell Curves: I took all the highest level classes available for the subjects
This year I took the tests for APUSH, Chem, and Lang/Comp.</p>

6

<p>Stanford and Harvard are reaches for everyone, but you seem to be an absolutely amazing candidate.
The only thing I can see missing is that you don’t play any sports.</p>

7

<p>No ivy will deny a black guy with a 2340.</p>

8

<p>were you accepted?</p>

9

<p>I agree with the above posters. I think you will get into several of those. Other than your lack of sports, you seem to be in a favorable position. Good luck!</p>

<p>tennisgeek1: im class of 2010. I won’t know until April :&lt;/p>

11

<p>also, not that they matter much, but an addition:
AP Tests:
English Language: 5
US History: 5
Chemistry: 5</p>

<p><em>cough</em> affirmative action <em>cough</em></p>

<p>Ditto to Bell Curves. I don’t think any ivy would deny a black guy with a 2340, yet alone just deny a black guy with a good head on his shoulders.</p>

<p>thats not racist at all…
once again, I never said I was black. I said I was Kenyan</p>
