ACT: not taking
SAT II: 750 (language test which is not my native language) ,760,780,800
AP: 5,5,5,5,4 taking 6 more AP classes this year, so senior course load is rigorous.

hooks: none (maybe the fact that i've lived in four different countries in my life and that i can speak four languages, some fluent some not-so-fluent)
essay: about my teacher's influence on me
recs: proly phenomenal
counselor's rec: i don really know her cuz she is new but she is gonna write that in the rec so i guess it's fine</p>

<p>They’re pretty much all a reach. 2300+ on the SAT? You’re going to need better than that. You got a 4 on an AP test which will hurt you…your ECs are nothing special. Your grammar is poor so I doubt your essays are very good. Your counselor doesn’t even know you? Ugh why even bother applying?</p>

3

<p>Yale, MIT, Stanford, Harvard,Dartmouth, Princeton= reaches because you lack a hook that sets you apart from other applicants which is necessary to have a so called good shot at a school of that caliber.
Duke, Cornell, Brown, JHU, WashU= Matches</p>

<p>Chance back?</p>

<p>haha nah i don have to retake 2300+
r u crazy?
that only makes me look bad plus it’s at upper 2300 so it doesn really matter.
and my grammar is only bad because im writing on a forum.
i don really care about grammar online :P</p>

<p>Agree with above.</p>

<p>I totally disagree! You are phenomenal in all ways possible! You sound like a pretty well-rounded individual being that you are a polyglot, intellectual, and a humanitarian :-). Though you are competing with other Asians that have similar, lower, and possibly higher recs (though I don’t know how much better an app can get than yours :wink: ) your essay seems pretty personal as well as the recommendations. With all that being said, bask in the range of your extraordinary accomplishments. You have nothing to worry about.

<p>2300+…you really don’t have to worry about the SAT. APs are fine too, one 4 won’t hurt you anywhere except Princeton and maybe Harvard.</p>

<p>you need a larger hook. but I’d say
Yale - mid-reach
MIT - high-reach
Stanford - high-reach
Harvard - mid- to high- reach
Princeton - high-reach
Dartmouth - low-reach to match
Duke - match
Cornell - low-reach
Brown - low-reach
JHU - match
WashU - match</p>

<p>mit, hyps, dartmouth- all high reaches

<p>where in tx?</p>

<p>you’re asian, so you’re not gonna get in.</p>

<p>joking… you’ve got great stats. i say that because they are similar to mine.</p>

<p>minus the country/language thing which is a big deal. sell it. you’ll do fine, i predict at least one of hyps</p>

10

<p>i live in a city next to plano and plano is near dallas.
what do u mean by “minus the country/language thing which is a big deal”, so is it a big deal or not a big deal?
and thank u for chancing me</p>

11

<p>I think your stats are great. Don’t worry about a 4 on an AP test…that’s a GREAT score. I think you’ll get into Hopkins and probably Duke. Harvard and Yale would be mid-reaches because your EC’s are a bit weak, but your grades and course load seem like they’re on par with Harvard/Yale Standards. Same goes for MIT and Princeton. Stanford is a bit of a toss up…But I think you’re definitely into Cornell and possibly Dartmouth. Hopkins is definitely a match for you as well. Not sure about Wash U :&lt;/p>

<p>Chance me back??

12

<p>You are a match for Duke, Brown, Cornell, Wash U, Dartmouth and maybe Brown
As for Yale, MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Princeton I would give you a mid/high reach
I don’t really know the admission stats for Hopkins so I can’t say</p>

<p>PS. OMG I live in Dallas and yeah I know where Allen is I had to drive one of my friends out there once its in the middle of nowhere :smiley:
Oh and chance me back plz

<p>For you, no school is really a reach. Youll get into many from that list. You should be able to tell where you can get in based off of how other top students from your school have done in the past. I think youve got a great shot anywhere though, but why not apply to the best school of all, RICE? </p>

<p>Chance me back?

14

<p>Since you have a good score, you have great chance to get into most of those schools but… you should have something “special” ECs to get into schools like MIT, harvard, or Yale
Yale, MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Dartmouth, Princeton-reach
Duke, Brown, Cornell, Wash U, Hopkins-Match

15

<p>2300+ is golden enough.
You seem decent for all of those schools, top is reach as always but I can see you getting into Duke, Hopkins, and Wash U easy. Maybe Brown or Cornell, actually probably at least one.</p>

<p>Good luck dude. Breath easy :]</p>
