<p>Well i’d say that you have a decent shot at all the Ivies. Princeton and Yale are a bit more competitive, but Brown, Columbia, Cornell seem fairly reachable. Your scores seem solid, but your essays will factor in eventually, so keep those up, and you should get in somewhere good!</p>
<p>Now then, please chance me - <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1043767-chance-me-pl0x.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1043767-chance-me-pl0x.html</a></p>
<p>Thank you for your input! :)</p>
<p>Ya, I would think that you have a good shot at Yale, but your stats are very common at that high of tier school. Good luck though; I wouldn’t be surprised if you are admitted, but I definitely wouldn’t be surprised if you are denied. Can you chance me back?

<p>Thanks - yeah, I know >< But then again, better people have sent in apps and been rejected; Good luck to you too! :)</p>
<p>Hey,</p>
<p>Your stats are impressive overall. You’re clearly strong academically and your music sounds like it could help you. When it comes to Yale though, there are really three problems that I see. First of all, Yale (in comparison to the other top 5 schools) is considered similar to Stanford (that is, they tend to pick many “strange” candidates - ones that are not necessarily well-rounded students but either have an odd backstory or are very focused on one study). The latter is actually true of all top five schools, but especially so of Yale and Stanford. I think that what is going to hurt you the most in admissions is that you do not really have a clear focus (you have written music, but you do not have an extensive list of musical programs listed that you have enrolled in) and though you are strong academically, you are probably not strong enough to beat out the many people across the nation who have 5.0 GPA’s junior year, etc. An instance of well-rounded students that would make the cut in these cases would be ones like a few from my school. One especially. He had a 5.0 junior year, 4.5 sophmore year, played varsity tennis three years, and earned a 2400 on the SAT - all at a very competitive high school. Obviously, making the cut as well-rounded is nearly impossible but the problem is in your case that you also have no clear focus. The third thing that will hurt your chances that I see is that you are Asian. Racial profiling (sadly) plays a huge role in admissions - that is, you are not competing with Caucasian and African American or Latin students - you are competing with other Asian students (who tend to perform in the highest bracket academically). Sorry for sounding pessimistic, but it is better that you do not get your hopes up than that you do. In your case, I would say admission to the 9/10 ranked schools seems realistic, but beyond that (top 5) would be a hard bargain. Yale especially, as I said, is unlikely. I would say that you have far better chances of admittance to Columbia or Harvard (as Columbia is not as demanding and Harvard tends to choose more academic students than the other top four), Harvard being a rather vast stretch, and Columbia being a possiblity.</p>
<p>Hmmm… I see what you mean. But the 5.0 and 4.5 are all weighted for the junior, and my school doesn’t weight. 4.0 is the highest we can have. And it’s true- I didn’t list a lot of music programs, but on my resume I did. I just didn’t want to clutter the page, and when I decided I should, the site wouldn’t let me edit any more. My Yale supplement focuses on my passion for music, and my common app essay also hints at it a lot. But you’re right - it’s better that I look at this with a realistic, albeit pessimistic view, than a very optimistic point of view and be disappointed later. That said, I wouldn’t mind having something to smile about on this forum. All the comments are helpful, but slightly discouraging. But realistic. So thank you :)</p>
<p>Haha im asian too, but not living up to the stereotype. But your chances are very good, i can see why UGA was your safety choice. If I could go back, I would have tried so much harder in school.</p>
<p>Well, I know a lot of asians who break from the stereotype and they’re (mostly) all really chill and fun people 
what county are you ?</p>
