Chance International for Ivy League

<p>Hello.
Basically, I want to be chanced for most schools in Ivy League. My favorites are Harvard and Wharton.</p>

<p>Nationality: Danish
Ethnicity: Iranian(1st generation immigrant)
Political Stance: Liberal
Religion: Atheist(not the ******bag type)
Financial Aid: No</p>

<p>GPA: 4.58
In Denmark you can multiply your grade by 1.08 if you take further education within 2 years of graduation and furthermore by 1.06 if you have 6 A level subjects. It is very rare to have 6 A level subjects though. So if you have high enough grades, you can actually break the grade scale, students who break the scale are called superstudents and are sometimes in the media(I was, because I am the first foreigner to do so).</p>

<p>Raw GPA(without multiplications): 4.00</p>

<p>SAT: 2400
SAT II Math: 800</p>

<p>School: I go to the best, most rigorous and most competitive school in the country, its not even close. Only 80 students attend and 20% drop out. This is not some school where the rich people send their kids, its completely merit-based. </p>

<p>Class rank: 1/59 </p>

<p>Extracurricular activities:</p>

<p>President of National Union of Business High School Students</p>

<p>Captain of National Math Team(Sounds cool, but is not nearly as a big deal as in the US, we practice independently in our basement).</p>

<p>School Student President</p>

<p>Member of the School Board</p>

<p>Launched a charity website.</p>

<p>Internship at SAS</p>

<p>Internship at Maersk</p>

<p>Internship at the Danish Bank</p>

<p>I earn a handsome amount of money by playing online poker. I am over 18.</p>

<p>Miscellaneous information:</p>

<ul>
<li><p>I speak Persian, English, Danish, French, German, Norwegian, Swedish and Chinese. I learned most of these just based off interest, not on the curriculum.</p></li>
<li><p>I have lived in 3 different countries. I was an asylum seeker once, lived in an asylum center.</p></li>
<li><p>I have quite an influential family back in Iran. </p></li>
<li><p>I am not one of those anxious children who will die if they dont get accepted into a good college. I do what I find interesting and what I think will nurture myself. When I wait for my application, I wont be ****ting my pants or get nervous, the college I attend is not a part of my personality. Tying your university to your ego and self-worth is a very foreign concept to me. </p></li>
<li><p>I am not driven by achievement. I am driven by pure curiosity. To me, knowledge is the only truth, everything else is abstract and variable.</p></li>
</ul>

<p>The above-mentioned information is to give you a general idea of who I am, what kind of essay I will probably write, what kind of recommendations my teachers have given me and whether I generally fit it into an Ivy League university.</p>

<p>Just to make sure, I am not a troll or a liar. What would be the point.</p>

<p>If what you have said is true, you shouldn’t have much trouble getting into just about any U.S. college. What school did you attend? I know you said it was merit based, I’m simply curious.</p>

<p>Its called the Elitegymnasium.</p>

<p>Because you don’t apply for financial aid, I think you have absolutely amazing chances.</p>

<p>were there other extracurricular opportunities available?</p>

<p>Its different in Denmark. Universities dont give two ****s about EC. They just fill in students, highest GPA first and so on.
Therefore there is a different extracurricular culture here, activities arent specifically designed as an extension of school, you have to seek them yourself, and I have done that as much as I could.</p>

<p>

And… Most Atheists are?
You have good stats, I think you have a shot.</p>

<p>By that I mean: I dont look down or ridicule religious people, I dont argue or try to overturn their beliefs. Lots of kids from my school are like that, I strongly disassociate myself from that type of atheists.</p>

<p>If you’ve seeked and taken advantage of all the resources available to you, you will get into the schools no question.</p>

<p>take another sat II as well.</p>

<p>Take another SAT 2, and apply to the schools you want. Best of luck.</p>

<p>Thank you. I think I will take the one in Physics.</p>

<p>terrible ■■■■■ dude</p>

<p>What does that even mean? I dont even play video games.</p>

<p>dont stay in Denmark, dont stay in Iran, wear a damn turban, catch a fly to iraq and dig some oil. that may enhance ur curiosity</p>

<p>Well most Christians are the same, I just think everybody has their own opinion.</p>
