<p>Teacher Reco. from English Teacher and Math Teacher (GREAT RECO.)
OK-Good Essay</p>

<p>SORRY FOR THE LONG POST. Please chance me for MIT, Stanford, Cornell, Princeton & Harvard. I'll be applying for fin. aid as well.</p>

<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>Chin, you realize these schools’ acceptance #s have gone real low. You have great stats and there is a chance of course you may get into one or more, but realize there are tons of valedictorians and students w/ perfect scores that do not get accepted. Best bet is Cornell, then MIT. Have you applied to CMU, RPI, CWRU, Rice, and/or Harvey Mudd, or even Cal Tech? I would not rest my laurals on any of the 4 you mentioned. But you’ll get into a very good to great program if you diversified your applications and have enough out there.</p>

7

<p>I need the aid. CMU, Caltech, have no aid for internationals.
I am applying to duke & boston though.</p>

8

<p>You do realize that we nationals have almost no clue of what most of that stuff is, right?</p>

<p>You look very accomplished though.</p>

9

<p>sorry guys… that stuff is mostly competitive tests (MCQ+ Subjective) on Science or Math. They kinda give you a rank and a percentile (relates you to others in the country with regard to ‘ability’).
Let’s just say they are ‘valued’ if not respected. (Obviously, Government conducted National Physics & Math Olympiads are the best, but I haven’t received the results of those tests yet.)</p>

<p>Please chance me on the SAT scores, High School Scores and general profile (coz. the universities will probably see only one-tenth of all this stuff anyway)</p>

<p>Cheers</p>

10

<p>hey…i think you have exceptional credentials but what do you have that’s personal? colleges also like a little bit of personal flair but otherwise IMO you stand a good chance</p>

11

<p>You are definitely qualified, but remember with those colleges (especially the Ivies) it’s all a crapshoot. It’s arbitrary. Someone less qualified than you could get in while you don’t.</p>

<p>With that said, you certainly CAN get in, that’s for sure. Just don’t completely rely on those schools because like I said, some people just get unlucky.</p>

12

<p>Well, my music is really personal. I mean REALLY personal. I am submitting the music supplement to MIT (tomorrow in fact). I kinda missed the Stanford deadline for fine arts submissions, but MIT is still open. </p>

<p>I also have a really good mathematics research project (combines calculus, utility theory & game theory in a contemporary political scenario). Its ‘prize-winning’ (regional) so I hope it has an impact.</p>

13

<p>Was it published?</p>

<p>Are you sending an abstract to colleges?</p>

14

<p>Wasn’t published, but I am sending it.</p>
