Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey CC, Here are my stats. Would I be competitive enough for Yale?</p>

<p>SAT 2350 (2260 first time)
ACT 36 (34 first time)
GPA 3.9 (4.4 W)
Rank: DNR but counselor told me top 10%
SAT II: Math 1&2 (800), Chem, Physics, USH (results will come in 2 weeks but confident of 750+ for each)
AP's: Chem,Physics B,USH, Calc BC,Lang, Comp Gov (expecting all 5's except perhaps for gov)
Senior year classes: AP physics C, AP Bio, AP USgov, AP econ, AP Lit, Multivariable calc, journalism
Awards: National merit, research paper published in state science organization, volunteer awards,state math awards, state debate awards, state science bowl awards. etc.
EC's
Varsity soccer
Club Soccer (Co-cap)
School technology club (Pres)
Beta Club (Secretary)
Mu alpha theta (VP)
Varsity debate
Independent science research
Volunteering:
Soccer coach
Soccer ref
Youth leader for 4 years in an organization dedicated to keeping youth out of gangs (have represented this program in many city meetings and have gave welcome speeches before city commissioners)
Summer activities:
Paid internship in an acoustics lab
Unpaid lab research
Recs:
AP chem teacher (will be fantastic)
AP english teacher (good but not "wow"
Science mentor professor at local university- phenomenal
Race:
Unique middle eastern minority race never seen at top schools
State: southern, somewhat underrepresented.</p>

<p>The only disadvantage I probably have is that I took only 2 years of a foreign language. I do know 3 languages,however, and will try to address the fact that I wanted to learn a different language, besides spanish, in the middle of high school after visiting a certain country.</p>

<p>So what are my chances? I am heavily invested in soccer, science, and debate. Also, I'm not expecting Intel sts or siemens semi (although I've done research for 2 years on a weekly basis) but how would those boost my app?</p>

<p>How many volunteer hours do you have?</p>

<p>I would think with the body of work you have that you have a strong shot at Yale SCEA and I’m confident you will get into the ivy league or one of your top 5 colleges</p>

3

<p>Yale SCEA: Reach (at least it’s reachable)</p>

4

<p>Because I am a volunteer soccer ref, soccer coach, and librarian (alongside the aforementioned program), I easily have 600-700+ hours.</p>

<p>Could anyone else chance me?</p>

5

<p>Could I also get chanced for Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, UChicago, Duke, Dartmouth, WashU,Vandy, and Emory.</p>

<p>Everyone else is a reach…</p>
