<p>“although you are much more competitive than the average applicant and you have a better than 50/50 chance”</p>
<p>oh man :P</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Asian males generally have a harder time getting into these schools, especially since youre playing off a math/science angle. Ive known you for a couple of years, so this may be biased:
MIT reach: Lack of formal math/science credentials, but your activity on AoPS will probably help you out
Caltech match: GPA might hurt you, but I dont think there are many qualified applicants from your state
UChicago match: Tends to waitlist people with higher SAT/GPA, but mathy people don’t usually apply here
Stanford/Princeton reach: You have as much of a chance as anybody else
Carnegie Mellon/Cornell/Berkeley match</p>
<p>Good luck! I dont need a chance back. :P</p>
<p>Pretty good all around, but very stereotypically Asian.
MIT- Reach (For everyone)
Chicago - Low reach
Caltech - Reach
Berkeley - Match
Stanford - Reach
Princeton - Reach
Carnegie Mellon - Match
Cornell - Low Reach</p>
<p>You had enough personality/passion in your writing imo to get me to read the whole stats thing haha. I see what everyone is saying about you being stereotype asian, but I wasn’t feeling that and i totally get your leadership not being demonstrated through rank and title. </p>
<p>that being said
MIT- Mid reach
Chicago - high match
Caltech - Reach
Berkeley - I forget if youre instate and I can’t go back to first page but matchish
Stanford - Reach yup
Princeton - Reach yup
Carnegie Mellon - high match
Cornell - high match</p>
<p>my turn

<p>MIT- Reach
Chicago - High Match
Caltech - Reach
Berkeley - Match
Stanford - Reach
Princeton - Reach
Carnegie Mellon - Match
Cornell - High Match</p>
<p>Cornell and Carnegie look like matches to me…Stanford and Caltech would just be somewhere around low reaches and MIT…well thats not easy for ANYBODY!!</p>
<p>Chance me back please!</p>
<p>Great stats</p>
<p>It would be nice if more people visited; I’ll give equally candid and detailed feedback :P</p>
<p>By the way, I’ve applied to UT Austin/honors programs and UIUC as well, if anyone wants to weigh in on those too.</p>
<p>And I do hope I don’t come off as picky, but I hope the rest of my application (not stats) is strong; I do consider myself something more than just “good stats”. :)</p>
<p>Anyone with feedback?</p>
<p>You seem extremely well rounded, but you’re applying to top class schools and don’t have any “hooks”. Assuming your essays very good, I predict the following: </p>
<p>MIT (Early Action)-Deferred, then rejected
Chicago (EA)-Deferred, then wait-listed
Caltech (EA)-Rejected
UC Berkeley-Accepted
Stanford-Rejected
Princeton-Rejected
Carnegie Mellon (School of CS and College of Science)-Rejected
Cornell (Engineering, Arts/Sciences)-Accepted
UT Austin-Accepted
UIUC-Accepted
Your in-state safety-Obviously accepted.</p>
<p>Please chance me at my thread: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1586454-chance-me-ut-austin-rice-georgia-tech-rice-wustl-johns-hopkins.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1586454-chance-me-ut-austin-rice-georgia-tech-rice-wustl-johns-hopkins.html</a></p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>That’s interesting because 1) CMU MCS is probably easier to get into Cornell science/engineering for most people, and 2) I don’t consider myself well-rounded at all, unless by well-rounded you don’t mean subject-wise (fairly extreme math/CS focus) 
Thanks though!</p>
<p>I really hope that actual activities matter more than “hooks”; though, obviously I’m pretty misinformed about demographics in college admissions in general…</p>
<p>Bump! (Also, if anyone is still willing to read the whole post, I’ve added UT Austin and UIUC to my list) I will chance you back, as always.</p>
<p>Of course, all ivy colleges are hard to predict even with amazing credentials. However, things seem pretty in line- scores are good as can be. However, your ec could be buffered and as you mentioned, your GPA seems a little below average.</p>
<p>Cornell and Berkeley seem to be solid matches, but the rest seems like they would be reaches.</p>
<p>Thanks for the feedback! Anyone else. (I do ask that you read through the post before making assumptions about ECs/GPA, if possible; I have a feeling that a lot of people haven’t taken what I said into account)</p>
