Chance at Top Schools- Harvard, Stanford

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I realize that none of you are admissions officers, but perhaps you could tell me what my chances are of getting into certain colleges.</p>

<p>Rank:5/700~
GPA: Unweighted 3.87 My schools weights wierd, so I won't include it.
SAT:2310 (800 M, 770 CR, 740 WR)
SAT II: 800 IIC, 790 Chemistry, 760 Biology E, 760 Physics, 750 US History, 750 Math IC, 650 Spanish</p>

<p>AP Scores as of the end of my junior year: Environmental 9th-5, US 10th- 5, Psychology 10th-5, Physics 10th-5, Biology 11th-5, Chemistry 11th-5, European 11th-5, Calc BC 11th-5, Micro and Macro 11th- 5, 5
My school offers English through a community college 11th and 12th grades, so I have not taken AP Lit or Lang. IH- Individualized Honors </p>

<p>EC: Robotics- President (Senior) Vice President (Junior), 3rd in Southern Cal Regional, 1st in Southern Cal Regional, Trip to Nationals- 600hrs participation 4 years</p>

<p>Debate-10th, Various awards, 150 hours participation
CSF- 10,11, 12- 60hrs
Academic Decathlon- 11, 12 (4000 hours participation)- Won the very competitive Los Angeles Regionals, 2nd highest team score score at that level of competition in the nation, placed 5th at state, participating again this year- one of the 5 or 6 teams that is a national contender each year- Won various medals, and picked up an Economics Scholarship
Secretary- 12th JSA helped refound at our school
Secretary- 12th Future Business Leaders- Helped found it with friends</p>

<p>Volunteer- 60hrs in Emergency Room at local Hospital</p>

<p>I essentially finished all the classes my high school had to offer by the 11th grade, and so I took EPGY Physics online, and Multivariable Calc at a communitry college, along with AP World History and AP Government for my senior year, light schedule I know, but I cannot take any classes anywhere else. Have taken the hardest classes possible at my school. Have taken close to 10 community college classes.</p>

<p>I live about 27 miles away from school, commute over 1 hr each way through Los Angeles traffic.</p>

<p>I have one Achilles Heel that is Spanish where I picked up 2 C's in 10th grade and 2 B's in 9th grade, I finished up with Honors Spanish 3 in 10th grade. </p>

<p>Chances at:</p>

<p>Harvard EA
Yale or Princeton
UC Berkeley
UCLA
UCSD
UPenn
Duke
Stanford
WashU</p>

<p>Super stats! But plz don’t do EA at Stanford because you’ll push me out for sure…plzzzz??:)</p>

6

<p>Also, I forgot to mention I played the piano for 8 years.</p>

7

<p>If you write good essays and show that you're dedicated to some extra curricular i htink you will do fine. Your stats are very impressive so it's up to all the apps/interviews/ec's to determine whether you make it.</p>

8

<p>Can anyone give me a percentage chance at these schools if possible?</p>

9

<p>bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump</p>

10

<p>Would it make a difference if I applied EA to Princeton, Stanford, Yale or some other college?</p>

11

<p>All ivies are reaches....</p>

<p>ummm....lets see lottery ticket at Harvard, but I think you have a better chance at Stanford.</p>

12

<p>How do you have 4000 hours of participation in 2 years?</p>

<p>That's over 150 whole days...</p>

<p>Haha, if that isnt a typo... congrats.</p>

<p>:)</p>

13

<p>Its not a typo, everday 3-9 M-F, and on the weekends its usually another 6-8 hours. Closer to competition its more like 12 hours a day 7 days a week, so the hours add up quite quickly.</p>

14

<p>Well then, I hope you get into Harvard just because of that. Good luck.</p>

<p>:)</p>

15

<p>Does anyone know of Harvard or the Ivy's stance on the new SAT? In particular, is the writing section heavily weighted?</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Match
UCSD: Safe Match</p>

17

<p>It does not say anything about weighing certain sections on the Harvard website, but a 740 will definitely not hurt you in any way.</p>

<p>Your M+V is a 1570 and I think that is much more important than the writing, which is graded subjectively and is rather new.</p>

18

<p>I heard they'll basically view Writing as an SAT II, but I'm not completely sure if that's true.</p>

19

<p>Your stats are probably good enough that you'll get in to at least one of Harvard, Yale, Stanford, or Princeton, but they're reaches for everyone. If you are rejected, it's not because you're not qualified.</p>

<p>I got to one of those gigantic LAUSD schools and I do not know how reputable they are with Ivy's. I did participate in the IH program, tops at my school, but realistically a good half of my school is forcibly bussed in, and my school has low statistics overall. Does this hurt me?</p>
