I’m going to ask this question without even knowing if possible but do you plan to skate for a college?
If so, that would elevate chances if you are good enough to be recruited.

Your credentials seem excellent. Scores perfect r near perfect (yeah, would n’t bother sending the biology since you don’t need it and it is considerably lower than all the rest). Seems like you have a lot of schools on your list. If there is one that is clearly where you’d like to be, seems like you could ED and have it all be done with. Would each school on your list be acceptable to you if you didn’t et into any other? If not, I’d take it off the list. You have a strong record and should do well.

@nerdygal345, you are trying to highjack Emilyskates thread. Please repost in your own thread.

@emilyskates, you will never know unless you apply.
Non-residents of California get little to no scholarship monies so make sure you can pay for the public schools on your list.

emily,
you have excellent stats
excellent academic record
but ivy schools you can never be sure about
Your dedication to skating is good haha
and its a pretty unique activity

Your academics are amazing. Your ECs are quite impressive. For figure skating, have you won some awards/done figure skating at some well known competition(I don’t know much about it)? Imo, you have a very strong chance of getting into an ivy and CMU(you can get into multiple ivies too, imo, if your figure skating thing is really amazing). You will surely get into UCs, imo, and probably NYU too.

Chance me back? http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1850266-chance-me-for-mit-cornell-cmu-and-ill-chance-back.html#latest

GPA is definitely top notch. ACT score is also solid. Make sure you have something special that can make you stand out from the rest of the applicants. For your case, skating. At this point, focus on your Ec’s and how they can make you stand out from the rest of the applicants. Best of Luck!!

Chance me back please if you have time?
