<p>good shot, but no so-call "real" EC? (some idiots in here will call you textureless math / science grind or whatever) damn ur AMC score is about mine, how come ur SAT's are way better lol</p>

3

<p>In or out of state for UCB?
Obviously will be accepted at RPI, probably at CMU, averagish applicant at the others.</p>

4

<p>Out of state for UCB.</p>

5

<p>I'd say you have a decent chance at all of them except harvard, p-ton, and stanford.</p>

6

<p>i need to know more about your background...its hard to chance ppl without even seeing essays, recs,etc.</p>

7

<p>good shot everywhere except harvard and princeton (no leadership).</p>

8

<p>someperson:</p>

<p>UCB: Match (out of state, Engineering)</p>

<p>great technical stats, but you’re REALLY going to need to get your personality across with your essay/recs. they want a student body, not just learn-bots.
that being said, your academic stats could not be much better.
though, what do you mean by this?
“If my Math/Science GPA were my actualy GPA, then I would be ranked 1/~300”</p>

<p>Congradulations, you have been accepted into MIT. But you got denied from H and S. P accepted you, though; very lucky. And Caltech wants you to, but you are probably going to MIT N-E way. Peace.</p>

<p>I don’t know, your GPA and SATs are meh for an asian. Most of your wins come from contests that don’t seem very legit (“international compsci competition”?). You didn’t make USAMO, which kinda hurts you against asians of similar interests. HPS is unlikely, MIT and Cal are possibilities, and the others you’re in.</p>

12

<p>You never mention your actual GPA or class rank.</p>

13

<p>Do you mean the International Olympiad in Informatics?</p>

<p>Because that would basically grant you admission right there</p>

<p>vMIT (Deferred EA) - reach
Caltech (Deferred EA) - reach
Harvard - reach
Princeto - reacn
Carnegie Mellon SCS - match
UCB EECS - i would apply for another major here and switch into eecs. if so, match, otherwise, probably reach. their eecs program is as good as caltch/mit
Stanford - reach
Harvey Mudd - match/low reach <- low number of acceptances
RPI - dunno
Olin - reach</p>

<p>for the most part, all of your schools are ivy/ivy caliber. i think you’ll get into one of your reaches, but i’m not going to tarnish the school’s reputation by saying match. Olin is a beast to get into and my friend personally didn’t get in despite having a better application than his brother (who got in). All your stuff is there and you have legitimate chances at the schools you’re applying to, but unless you set yourself apart from the pack from doing stuff that’s downright astounding, you have the same application as many many other students.</p>
