<p>Colleges I'm looking at:
Ivies (NOT looking at HYP)
Top non ivies
Higher tier schools</p>

<p>My reach schools: UPenn, Duke, Stanford, MIT, Columbia (NY duh), Cornell
Some higher tier schools I'm interested in: Washington University in St. Louis, Northwestern, Carnegie Mellon, Johns Hopkins.</p>

<p>NOTE: I'm not sure if I should ED to WashU because I'm not that passionate about it, but getting into that school is my priority because my parents love it.</p>

<p>Feel free to suggest other additions/add comments</p>

<p>ahhhh, i see, a "ghetto" asian girl. how original</p>

<p>journalism stands out fine. otherwise you are rather unimpressive. so try to highlight your passion in reporting ghetto things</p>

<p>reject by stanford & mit (um, why mit??). accept at the rest GIVEN that you really do a great job with presenting your journalism stuff</p>

<p>Edit: oh wait, just saw that 10% rank. ouch. reject by lower ivies as well.</p>

3

<p>I don't know, MIT sounds cool
journalism is my only strong point, I suck at the rest
care to elaborate on "great job with presenting your journalism stuff?"</p>

4

<p>girl, don't be questionin' me</p>

<p>essay</p>

5

<p>Get that GPA calculated. Can you push your ACT higher?</p>

6

<p>ACT: I'm too lazy to take it again.
GPA: Can you calculate it for me, I got 1 B in ap chem for a semester, the rest are A's. I'm too lazy, and I'm not sure how to calculate my gpa.</p>

7

<p>ok I calculated my weighed/unweighted GPA</p>

<p>Weighted= 4.05/4.3
Unweighted= 4.0 (essentially)</p>

8

<p>Reject at all Ivies, Stanford, MIT.</p>

<p>In everywhere else.</p>

9

<p>bump--------</p>

10

<p>Northwestern is your best bet.</p>

11

<p>bump again</p>

12

<p>Bump------</p>

<p>Hey. Thanks for chancing me.</p>

<p>Um lets see</p>

<p>Ur ACT is pretty good, but it can't hurt if u can improve it. Also, ur SAT IIs are good but I think u should take atleast one more.</p>

<p>As far as ur GPA/class rank is concerned, they are mediocre in light of the schools you are going to apply to.</p>

<p>As a result, I think that it might be a reach/big reach for the top Ivies and maybe a reach for Columbia and Stanford.</p>

<p>But other than that, I think u should be in everywhere else.</p>

<p>P.S.: Do u honestly know if my nationality(Bangladesh) is a minority?</p>

14

<p>Definitely try Cornell and probably Penn... you'd have a real decent chance at the former!</p>

15

<p>Stanford is just as hard to get into as HYP lol..</p>

16

<p>wait...are your parents going to be the ones attending college or are you...go to the school you think is right for you</p>

17

<p>SPLINTER: I'm too lazy to take any more tests, I might take the government SAT II if I have any motivation left by the end of the summer...</p>

<p>Top 10% is the highest rank/percentage I can get from my school, it's about 20 people.</p>

<p>p.s. see your thread</p>

<p>MITDAD: Thanks for chancing me, hopefully I'll get lucky</p>

<p>LLPITCH: yeah, thus it's a double-reach for me.</p>

<p>GATOR: I know, but I can go to WashU for free because my parents work there, so that's really tempting, and it's close to home. I'm just not that passionate about the school, but I don't really want to risk not getting into WashU.</p>

18

<p>Since I have to send both of my ACT scores because I didn't take the essay part on the second one (1st time: 29 f**k and 2nd time: 32), how much will sending both scores affect my chances? (for example... if I'm up against someone else who sent only a 32)</p>

19

<p>bump--------</p>

<p>with your test scores and ec's nothing really stands out. if i were you, i would take the act again.</p>
