Chance me for College?

<p>I'm really anxious about getting my admissions/rejections. I live in Athens, Georgia. (but not a fan of UGA)</p>

<p>Asian (oriental) male <- sucks :( but please don't tell me anything I don't already know</p>

<p>I applied to: Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, Emory, U Chicago, Dartmouth, NYU, UNC Chapel Hill, Stanford
(I know, a LOT)
Stats:</p>

<p>SAT: 2320 (this is my super score and highest single time)</p>

<p>SAT Subject Tests:
US History- 780
Math II-800</p>

<p>GPA: 3.89 (weighted- my school only does a weighted GPA)</p>

<p>I'm unsure about my rank but it's in the top 5% for sure. (probably much higher)</p>

<p>Grades:</p>

<p>(9th Grade) frown face
Honors Geometry - B/A
Honors Fresh. Lang. Arts - B/B
Honors Biology - B/A
AP Geography - A/A
Latin 1 - A/A
Health/PE- B/B</p>

<p>(10th Grade)
Honors Precalculus - A/A
Honors Chemistry -A/A
Honors Soph. Lang. Arts - A/A
AP World History - A/A
Honors Latin 2 - A/A
AP Computer Science A - A/A</p>

<p>(11th Grade)
AP Calculus BC - A/A
AP Physics B - A/A
AP Literature - A/A
AP US Hist - A/A
Honors Latin 3 - A/A
AP Environmental Science - A/A</p>

<p>(12th Grade)
AP Statistics - A
AP Bio - A
AP Chem - A
AP Lang - A
AP Econ - A
Honors Latin 4 - A (No AP Latin in my school, I'm actually independently studying in the Latin 3 class)</p>

<p>I guess I show an upwards trend from that dismal freshman year. I was going through some major problems in my personal life that year as my parents were getting divorced and I was bouncing around from home to home.</p>

<p>AP Scores:
(9th)
Geography - 4
(10th)
World History - 4
Psychology - 4 (self study, still bad I know...)</p>

<p>(11th)
Calculus BC - 5
Calculus AB sub-score - 5
Physics B - 4
Literature - 5
US Hist - 5
Environmental Science - 5</p>

<p>I took the most rigorous courses I could so hopefully that puts me at a competitive advantage? Do colleges even care about AP scores? Hopefully that will help me out.

<p>EC's---------</p>

<p>-President of National Honor Society</p>

<p>-Play in a summer tennis league every summer, </p>

<p>-volunteered at a senior center for about 150 hours over the past 2 summers,</p>

<p>-I forget how many but many hours from National Honor Society. </p>

<p>-Mu Alpha Theta 4 years, </p>

<p>-Science Olympiad 4 years. Medal-ed at the state level in Science Olympiad for 3 years (but my team never makes it to national :(. )</p>

<p>-National AP scholar at the end of junior year.</p>

<p>I'm sure my letters of recommendation were really good as they were from the volunteer coordinator at the senior center I volunteered at and one was from my Science Olympiad coach.</p>

<p>Should I have applied where I applied? Or should I have applied to some other places? I stayed away from HYSPM (other than Stanford) because a friend of mine last year had similar stats and was rejected. (I have better scores/she had a better GPA) Should I have?</p>

<p>I think you’re in at NYU and Georgia Tech. Dartmouth and Stanford are hands down your toughest, most selective schools and judging from your SAT scores, you stand a chance despite your “weak” GPA. Your ECs are great and show commitment to math and science, and ergo, engineering. Are you planning on majoring in any of these? You being Asian doesn’t exactly help out your situation but I think the rest of the schools that I didn’t mention are low reaches/high matches.
Best of luck my friend!
Chance back?

<p>Definitely, you’re a high mathch/low reach for all of these schools, but not because your a bad applicant. It’s just that the schools are so selective, which sucks for those who want admission. </p>

<p>I think that Georgia Tech, NYU, Emory, and Chapel Hill look like they will accept you, but you never know for sure. Vandy, Dartmouth, Chicago, and Stanford is only slightly harder to predict. </p>

<p>Hopefully, you get into at least one of these schools. Good luck! :)</p>
