Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm a mixed white-asian from the UK. I have 6 As at AS level (4As are normally considered equivalent to 4.0 GPA, but I self-taught two subjects) and an A* in maths A2, which I self-taught myself a year early. I have a 2200 SAT (760 CR, 760 maths, 680 writing) but I'm resitting it in december. I'm ranked in the top 2.7% of my year, which is one of the top 8 state schools in the UK.</p>

<p>In my spare time, I'm doing an honours level maths course with Britain's Open University and three edX courses. In total, this takes 38hrs per week. I have a 10hr per week part-time job. At school, I represent my house on the school council, have arranged and conducted a variety of musical performances, have experience in debating and public speaking, I am completing the Gold DofE award, I've led a team that is having a research project published in a national publication. By december, I will have sat exams in both piano and music theory of the highest national standard. I have completed the vInpsire Gold award for community service.</p>

<p>I'm thinking of applying to Ivies, Stanford and MIT. Any feedback on chances of admission or improvements would be welcome.</p>

<p>Many thanks</p>

<p>You have a great GPA and good ECs. You should definitely apply to whatever ivies you can, because theoretically, you have a chance of getting in.
That being said, your SAT is a bit low for schools like Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Yale, and Princeton… your CR and math are good but your writing score is bringing you down a bit.
I think you have a fair chance of getting into Ivies such as Brown and Cornell (I’m no expert, though). Some of the more difficult ivies are going to be a reach for you (but they are for everyone). Don’t be discouraged, you’ve got great stats. These schools are difficult to get into, and seemingly perfect students are often rejected. Try to apply for as many as you can, and see what happens. Good luck!
Chance me? :)</p>
