<p>chance me for these schools plz plz plz</p>

<p>You have a chance at all of the schools. I think you will get accepted into at least a half of them.</p>

3

<p>you are amazing in many ways. you will get in to most of them but you will never get a date but probably won’t care. relax. smile. go for a hike. it will help you in the long run</p>

4

<p>one question: How did you participate in TASP in 2009 then in RSI this year. Don’t you need to have completed your junior year to have done TASP?</p>

5

<p>there is a sophomore seminar for TASP for students who wish to participate in the summer of their sophomore year</p>

6

<p>ah! I have a friend who went to TAMS and is going to Stanford this year :)</p>

<p>your scores/stats/whatever are great, but obviously you already know that and don’t need random strangers on the internet to tell you that to boost your self esteem (hopefully). you have a great chance at all of these schools. just try and distinguish yourself from the rest of the math/sci pool.</p>

7

<p>Your key competition is others from your school. Every top school will only take so many from each top high school, so how you stack up there is everything.</p>

8

<p>i had a 4.0 GPA at TAMS, so hopefully that will stack me up there pretty high</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I stopped reading here. You don’t need a chance thread.</p>

10

<p>lol are admissions to ivies that formulaic? i thought the SAT was just one factor among many</p>

11

<p>^You’re right, but a 2400 will raise your chances exponentially.</p>

12

<p>Dude, you go to TAMS? respect. </p>

<p>your in to all of them</p>

13

<p>you’re right my bad. you’ll get in to everything</p>

14

<p>^Not exactly… There is a possibility though. His transcript is very strong.</p>

15

<p>How do you know you are a National Merit Scholar? They are not announced yet. TASP is only available after the junior year. There is a sophomore program, but it has a different name and it would seem that someone involved in it would use the correct name.</p>

<p>I have my doubts about this post.</p>

16

<p>National Merit Scholar is a projected result and I did make a mistake typing this up, I should have written TASS, instead of TASP, which is the name of the actual program I attended</p>

<p>sorry for any confusion I may have caused</p>

17

<p>bump 10char</p>

18

<p>bump…</p>

19

<p>You don’t need us to tell you that you’ll be accepted to these schools. You are an extremely qualified applicant, and should be able to gauge your own chances.</p>

20

<p>Wow, as much as we all say “HYPS are always reaches for everyone,” if you don’t get in, I don’t know how anyone else can… </p>

<p>Are you applying to any of those schools as an early admission?</p>
