<p>Hey guys, so I just found out that I will be graduating a year early because my schools has no more classes to offer me. I am currently a sophomore, and will be graduating at the end of my junior year. Most of my classes next year will be at a college called SUNY Stony Brook. Could I please get a chance for especially Stanford, Harvard, and Brown, as they are my dream schools, and if possible, these colleges as well: Cambridge, Oxford, Yale, Princeton. Upenn, Dartmouth, Cornell, Columbia, MIT, Caltech, University of California Berkeley, University of Chicago, Northwestern, Williams, Swathmore, and Amherst. I am an Indian male, and i realize that this kills many of my chances. If anyone could chance me for any of these colleges, I would greatly appreciate it. Just to let you know, a couple of scores which i will list are scores which I anticipate i will receive, such as my ACT and a few of my APs</p>

<p>What sucks is that i don't attend a feeder school like Phillips Andover, and i'm an ORM. If it matters, i attended my local public school freshman year and then transferred.

<p>God Bless you kid!! Keep up the hard work, right GREAT Essays, distinguish yourself from the other applicants, and get fantastic recommendation letters. </p>

<p>You have a strong chance. </p>

<p>WOW! That is really all I need to say. You are a superb applicant, certainly one of the best I’ve seen here on CC. Just write solid essays and you’re in at whatever university pleases you haha. Oh and thanks for the chance! :)</p>

4

<p>do you guys think that graduating a year early will have a negative effect on my chances?</p>

5

<p>No way dude. I believe that to be an advantage. Any school on your list you will get into. Best of luck!</p>

6

<p>Quantitatively you have passed all the threshold. The only thing is that I do’t see a trend with your ECs. That set aside, if u write rockin essays and the odds are ever in your fave, i think u have better than good chance</p>

7

<p>Have fun being a billionaire genius in the future – you’ve got great chances at all of your schools. Do you know what you want to major in? And graduating early can only hurt you if you’re doing it to lighten your workload and you still have lots of classes to take… Since you’ve already taken all the classes then you’re fine. Lend me your brain, ugh!</p>

8

<p>how do you think i can show a trend with my ECs? and @shannon11g i think i wanna major in economics but my parents want me to do pre-med (ugh typical indians)</p>

9

<p>Dang man, I’m speechless. I could work my butt off and never come close to that. I’d be stunned if anyone rejected you. Please do mine?</p>

10

<p>Your stats are amazing. You definitely have a strong chance at any school. </p>

<p>Graduating early won’t have a negative effect on your chance, if anything it would help. It shows your dedication, motivation, and interest.</p>

<p>Also, do Economics! (or whatever you want to do, not what your parents want) You will be much more successful and happy if you do what you are interested in and enjoy. I’m sure you will do well in whatever you apply yourself too. Good luck!</p>

<p>i wanna thank everyone so much. Just curious, i realize that colleges do want someone whos unique, not just someone with high test scores. Based on my current ECs, does anyone have any ideas as to other things i could do to be impressve? and thanks everyone for the help so far :)</p>

12

<p>no chance whatsoever. you have worse stats than i did and i was waitlisted at all the aforementioned schools initially. id recommend just going to a local public college. i do think having a 99 uw gpa on a 4.0 scale will help, however.</p>

13

<p>is there a Private Catholic school anywhere in this country that has 800 kids in one class, 'cause OP claims he is 1/800.</p>

14

<p>alright now, no need to be rude. I wanna keep this a friendly thread so please don’t comment if you don’t have anything helpful to say :)</p>

15

<p>You seem to think being an Indian is a huge disadvantage of some sort but the claims of discrimination against Asians is way way overhyped. This shouldn’t really be a concern - if you’re well qualified, no school would turn you down for your race. Either way, you are an amazing applicant with a very high mental capability as demonstrated by your Scores, gpa, and courses taken. Maybe secure some club leadership next year and you’re good to go.</p>

16

<p>alright, thats probably a good idea, i really should try to get some leadership positions, never thought about that before. and again, please dont post anything unhelpful or just plain rude</p>

17

<p>Im just a 16 year old kid with a dream so if you’ve got nothing helpful to say please dont say anything</p>

18

<p>You have a great chance both these schools given your stats and , as you say, your great essays. However, these are ivies and thus are very unpredictable. It is safe to say anyway that you are amongst the top students applying, so your chances are very good regardless. </p>

<p>You have an excellent shot! Especially since you work so closely with schools such as JHU!
