<p>Your chancness at these schools are as good as anyone else’s. Your stats are superb (nice job on the perfect ACT), you hold a number of leadership positions, and your low income is a hook. </p>

<p>-Cal Tech, MIT, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Columbia, Harvard: out of these 7 schools, you will likely get into 4 or 5. </p>

3

<p>“You look like every other applicant of HYPS. No distinction whatsoever.”</p>

<p>Don’t let those phrases discourage you. You have stats people like me would die for. I envy your 36 compared to my 30! Haha, but yeah, awesome leadership, awesome exposure to science, great community service!</p>

<p>I’m too of a nub to qualify for chancing people, so sorry if I’m irrelevant.</p>

<p>Bumping!</p>

<p>Bumppp</p>

<p>Yes, you have a very strong chance of getting into several of your schools, Stanford and Harvard are always iffy, but your stats are fantastic, especially the extracurriculars. If you want to got CalTech I recommend taking the regular SAT as well, you could easily get a 2300.</p>

7

<p>Is taking the regular SAT worth it despite my ACT score? I’ve gotten a 2260 already not sure if I should even mention that in my app.</p>

<p>@nambugoldstone @kei04086 what were your essays about for harvard? mine was about what it feels like to break your back as an elite gymnast. </p>

9

<p>WOW! Great resume, do not mention your SAT. CMU, Washington, Williams are all matches. You should get into 4 of the other 8.

<p>Well as a junior I’m very new to the whole college process, but I would say that with the perfect subject tests and perfect act you have as good a chance as everyone else. I would say that WashU and Williams might actually be matches as opposed to reaches, but yeah, like others have said, you have as good a chance as anyone else at getting into the others… the sleeping bag thing is FANTASTIC, exactly what colleges like to see… sorry I can’t be more helpful, you probably know more about your chances than I do.</p>

<p>That being said, could you chance me? I’d really appreciate feedback on what I can do to improve, what my resume is lacking, etc.</p>

14

<p>@kei04086 The only reason I say to submit your SAT is that CalTech generally prefers the SAT and their average SAT acceptance score is around 2300.</p>

15

<p>@nambugoldstone ah i see. i don’t think i will be retaking the SAT though especially since CalTech isn’t necessarily my first choice and that little bump probably won’t be too necessary considering i’m in state</p>

<p>@soccerlover17 chanced, good luck (:</p>

<p>You have good chances at those schools because your ACT is higher than the 75th percentile. You will not get into all of them due to their selective nature. Your a well rounded candidate and should get into around 4 of those schools.
