<p>How is it? Give me chances?</p>
<p>Disagreed. I don’t know anyone who has gotten into all the Ivies (nor would I recommend applying to all of them), and a lot of people on this site are like this.</p>
<p>
That’s quite a broad range; they’re all totally different institutions and very few students are a match for all of them whether major-wise or personality-wise, so I’d do more research on which schools you’d fit into the most and narrow it down so you’re not doing so many applications. Also, anyone impressive enough to get into all of the Ivies probably shouldn’t have wasted their time doing apps for all of them.</p>
<p>Your extracurriculars/etc. don’t look weak at all–piloting seems unique, and so do the Scholastic writing awards considering that you seem math-oriented–and hopefully you’ll be able to show yourself in your essays. Be careful to avoid the whole typical-Asian-male stereotype (given your great scores and the fact that you’re in tennis). It’s also impressive that you self-studied some AP tests, but AP tests aren’t that important as a whole.</p>
<p>
Don’t bother mentioning that.</p>
<p>Of the schools you’re applying to, they’re all need-blind (except maybe JHU) so your income won’t be a factor.</p>
<p>Basically, I’m not chancing you (I can say you do have a chance, so long as you demonstrate that you’re a match for some of them personality-wise), but I think the greatest thing you can do to improve your application is to really try to make yourself stand out in your essays. What makes you different among every other great applicant out there with similar stats as yours?
Also, level of interest (whether or not you’ve contacted them, or interviewed with any in your local area) does matter for some schools; Brown listed interest as ‘very important’ on their common data set, for example.</p>
<p>yo everary, chill out there buddy don’t mean to freak you out with my words</p>
<p>I like how your quoting like each little part and saying something about them and not answering the guy’s question about his chances, which was what this thread was for</p>
<p>and, for the record, my bad man…i don’t keep track of everyone’s acceptance record like you do, so please excuse me when I say genesis has a really good chance at all his schools</p>
<p>^^I didn’t mean to offend anyone by disagreeing or come off as serious as I did (and now that I look back on that post, I do seem uptight), and I don’t ‘keep track of everyone’s acceptance record’…just told him to especially consider that Ivy schools get tons of great applicants like him every year and to really make his essay stand out.</p>
