Chance me for IVIES and TOP Schools please!

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Colleges:
-Upenn (also M&T)
-Harvard
-Stanford
-JHU
-WashU
-MIT
-Carnegie Mellon
-Northwestern
-Cornell</p>

<p>*I know these are tough schools and I do have many safety schools.</p>

<p>33.25 ACT, 34 superscored (I know they don't superscore, but many look at highest subsections)
800 math 2, 750+ on a science SAT II</p>

<p>3.93 GPA unweighted , private school</p>

<p>More than the most rigorous class schedule (4.5 years of english, math up to Calculus 3 and AP stats, 3.5 years of humanities (school plans for everyone to get 3, I doubled up...), 5 years of science, 3 years of span (up to span 4, only thing that I didn't do 12th grade))</p>

<p>Letter of recommendation from physics teacher and from a prestigious math class program that has gotten ~40% of people into harvard who have applied.</p>

<p>ECS:
Entered Siemens competition (math project... not many of them accepted :/), giving presentation at a section math conference, submitting paper to journal.</p>

<p>More than 100 hours of volunteer hours per year. Elementary school Engineering tutor, tutor of the state finalist (x2) for the engineering competition.... translated popular educational videos over internet to spanish (100 hours+, maybe it will make up 3 years of spanish...?).... and some other things.</p>

<p>Competing in an international college engineering competition as the only qualifying high school team</p>

<p>Leadership in 3 major teams (no sports due to required after school commitment) the teams are national forensic league teams and math league, leadership in NHS</p>

<p>In committee that school faculty appoints</p>

<p>A lot of tutor experience and soccer referee</p>

<p>I have other ECs and volunteering, but I don't find them worth posting here.</p>

<p>I’m applying to engineering departments by the way.</p>

3

<p>anyone have an opinion?</p>

<p>bump 10char</p>

<p>lol, entering siemens and submitting research to journal aren’t the same thing as siemens semifinalist/finalist and getting research published
the former means nothing if nothing happens
anyway, “Competing in an international college engineering competition as the only qualifying high school team” sounds fishy or exaggerated, but if its true, then you are in all schools =D</p>

<p>I am simply outlining our plans in the application and it is under a university advisor, so it clearly has some merit if we are being advised to submit. Entering siemens does matter; you have to write a 18-page paper and writing a math paper for the competition is extra work (the guidelines seem to be written for science papers)</p>

<p>Please actually chance me. If you want to disregard Siemens/Journal, that is fine with me.</p>

<p>In regards to the robotics competition, I honestly don’t know how big of a deal it is in the application process. I know teams from nearly every continent compete and American colleges such as MIT and Carnegie Mellon also attend.</p>

<p>I think you have good stats and you have great chances. Nothing is guaranteed though. I disagree with WallyWest. Colleges are impressed by any kind of extra work like Siemens or conducting research that is submitted to a journal. That is quite impressive from a highschool student. What WallyWest suggested is simply an even bigger variation of what you did.</p>

<p>thanks bump 10char</p>

<p>2/10- was not comical nor entertaining. though the amount of time you wasted on this is laughable.</p>

12

<p>@jubilee lol saw your other thread… CC’s on a roll tonight</p>

13

<p>Chance threads should be banned from CC- they give kids a false sense of hope or disappointment(even though most of us have never worked in an admissions office.) I used to do these until I realized how pointless they were, so instead of chancing you I will give you some advice- stop asking for strangers opinions on whether or not you will get into an ivy because none of us have any more idea of what we are talking about than you do.
That is all.</p>

14

<p>You’re EC’s are a bit lacking…</p>

15

<p>“Leadership in 3 major teams (no sports due to required after school commitment) the teams are national forensic league teams and math league, leadership in NHS.”</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback. I think I’m fine with ECs. I just vaguely listed these 3 and then the research, but there is much more to these three and there are much more on the side, but I hate laundry lists.</p>

<p>I just listed the ones I am stressing on my application.</p>

<p>Bump 10char</p>

<p>lol, if you wanna be close-minded to opinion, why even bother with a “chance thread”?</p>

19

<p>How am I being close minded? I am explaining my application. I haven’t even been chanced yet except one person saying “good.”</p>

<p>If someone says I don’t have many ECs and I have more that I didn’t list, I find it completely appropriate to point that out.</p>

<p>If you want to chance me, I’m completely open to your opinion; that is why I am here. However, if someone points out something on my application, wondering why it is there, I will explain. That isn’t being close minded, it is being decent.</p>

<p>lol, ccuser95’s got a point. You seem to be a bit arrogant. I may be wrong, but just an opinion. As to you wanting people to chance you,as already said by jazmine1243, no one can really put a number on your chances. Even if they do, it would just be misleading.</p>

<p>My advice : Go check out RD results for the previous years and compare your stats to theirs. That will help you get a better understanding of your chances. Apart from that all I’d say, looking at what you’ve listed out, is that you’ve got a pretty good chance at all of them and so you’d only know for real, once you apply! All the best!</p>
