<p>Wow! You definitely on the right track! Keep it up! SAT and GPA are awesome! the fact that you skipped 2 grades could almost be a hook. But try and do something out of the ordinary that colleges usually don’t see. it will make you unique!</p>

<p>Anybody who has a 4.6 and scores 30 points short of perfect on the SAT as a sophomore shouldn’t have any trouble getting in anywhere. Especially given that your extracurriculars are about a third of your post. (Although you probably want to condense that a little and really focus on some things in the next few years.) Assuming your PSAT scores don’t drop by about 10 points next year, you should have no problem being a National Merit Scholar.</p>
<p>[Please</a> chance me- will chance back!](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/886683-please-chance-me-will-chance-back.html]Please”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/886683-please-chance-me-will-chance-back.html)</p>
<p>Hey, </p>
<p>what does x livelovelaugh x mean? Does it mean that your DNA is composed of live, love and laugh? neat. I anticipate your next year, when you show leadership in some parts of your EC or achievement in your piano part, if you want to go securely to Y.</p>
<p>You are clearly a match at any school and you’re doing everything right. Unfortunately there are so many fabulous students like you out there (except for the fact that you are 13 (: haha ) and many great schools just assume you’ll get in somewhere else and don’t accept you. You can’t really do anything else to strengthen your application except to find one or two ECs to really focus on.
Good luck to you!</p>
<p>I hate to be a downer…BUT…</p>
<p>Being young is a negative factor. I’ve asked numerous college admissions officers (Princeton, Vandy, Caltech, MIT are the ones I remember specifically asking about). The main thing for these top colleges isn’t necessarily academics, but personality. They have SO MANY options (academics-wise) for who to choose to admit, so they want to see the social side of you.</p>
<p>That being said, if you can prove to them that you can thrive in regards to both academics and social-ness, then your age will cease to be an issue. <em>Your interview will be 10x more important than anyone else applying because of your age</em></p>
<p>-Speaking with experience</p>
<p>I also think your ECs are too “generic”, not that they are not good, but maybe you can organize them a bit more so you have a “focus”. Otherwise…GREAT STATS! I don’t think it’ll be much of a problem for you for any of your choices…</p>
<p>Cornell, Boston U, and UoC would not be surprising. Your unique story may prove interesting, so use whatever you can to make yourself “interesting.”</p>
<p>None of your stats seem to be lacking. Perhaps more focus on music and genetics? Very nice leadership :)</p>

<p>Based on the amazingness that is your resume, this is what i believe:
Yale- Low reach (For the SOLE reason that it is after all Yale)
UPenn- Match
Cornell- Low Match
Boston U- In with a good amount of scholarship</p>
<p>Your hard work in high school will definitely pay off!</p>
<p>Everyone has pretty much said what you wanted to hear, and what I would say…you’re doing amazing. as a fellow rising junior, you are much more qualified than me, and I have higher aspirations. 
Just wanted to say that colleges will take into account your age, and will then see how much you have accomplished by that age, and how few people older than you have also accomplished that much. your young age is actual a tremendous benefit.</p>
<p>I just wanted to address your hooks, that csims bashed on. While you do not have any life changing dilemmas, and you are the worst possible combo for a college applicant (Asian, not 1st gen, no legacy, etc) you do have some great opportunities for a hook, depending on how relevant you feel they are to your life. You can write a wonderful hook about your young age and how you were picked on, had more struggles than usual students, etc and how you overcame those obstacles. Also, you could write about your experiences interning at JH, UMass, etc. and how that has been an important part of your life. Colleges acknowledge that not everyone has the perfect hook, but likes to see unusual ones or normal hooks that are extremely important to the applicant.</p>
<p>wow you have amazing stats. a 2370 as a sophomore is unheard of, that is completely awesome. your ecs are a little on the weak side, you don’t seem to be significantly involved in most of your ecs.
keep up the good work, by the time you are a senior they will have no choice but to accept you :)</p>
<p>definitely on the right track. focus more these next years on deepening extracurricular involvement and you’ll be fine</p>
