Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>I am an international student(Singapore) who has been dreaming for Ivy for a long time.</p>

<p>here is my stats:</p>

<p>School: Raffles Junior College
GPA: 3.90
AP(s): Had 5 on Physics C EM , Physics C Mech, Chemistry, Cal BC, Statistics, Macro and micro Econs and 4 on World History
SAT: 800 Math 720 CR 750Writing
SAT II: 800 Math 2, 790 Chem, 800 Physics, 790 Bio 730World Histor 700 Spanish
High school rank: 5%. </p>

<p>Extracurricular activities:
- Volleyball school team member
- president of Career Guidance club
- student council member
- Interact club member(mainly volunteer work)</p>

<p>Award(s):
- Gold medal on Singapore Mathematical Olympiad
- Gold medal on Singapore Physics Olympiad
- American Methematic Competition 10 full marks
-American Muethematic Competition 12 full marks
-AIME 100
- International Young Physicists' Tournament</p>

<p>Do I have a chance to go to Princeton to study engineering?
What else should I do to increase my chance.</p>

<p>Define “Ivy”. Do you mean Harvard/Princeton/Yale, or are you considering other Ivies as well?</p>

<p>If only HPY, then I’d say you have as good of a shot as any other hyper-qualified applicant these schools get; it’s really just luck of the draw. The AMC and AIME stuff is nice, as is the Singapore Olympiad thing.</p>

<p>On the other hand, your stats would look much more impressive applying to Cornell ED (ED is important because it indicates to the college you don’t think of Cornell as a safety after HPY). If you don’t necessarily value one of the top Ivies, that would be a move to increase your chances of getting into a top school.</p>

<p>Thank you so much! Do all eight school have ED?</p>

<p>Harvard doesn’t have early application at all. Yale is early action, and all others are ED.</p>
