<p>bump bump bump</p>

<p>bump bump!!</p>

<p>tough crowd LOL…</p>

<p>There’s no point to these chancing threads, but for what it’s worth you have great scores that will definitely help you but your AP scores are low compared to some people. Also, it seems like you have really good ECs which will almost guarantee your acceptance into less competitive schools than HYP and Stanford. Those are a reach for everyone.</p>

6

<p>if you love a school apply and see!! visit the school so you can write about why it’s perfect for you</p>

7

<p>High reach for HYPSM and reaches for all the other schools.</p>

8

<p>I think you have a really good chance at those schools. However, I agree with most of the other people that your AP scores aren’t that great. Make sure you submit a music supplement! and Good Luck! Oh and chance me back if you like.</p>

9

<p>Solid chance at all. Will be toss ups. Good luck! I would personally say you would probably get into cornell though.</p>

10

<p>thank you so much everyone! </p>

<p>i’m going through the chance threads now, so be on the lookout!</p>

11

<p>I think from reading you have one of the best “high school resumes” i’ve seen. You’ve got good chances at many of these schools, keep in mind that the Ivy’s are a lot more selective but I think you still have a great shot in all of them.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

12

<p>alright, just finished!</p>

<p>i’m pretty sure i got everyone, but if i did the wrong thread or something (lol), please let me know!</p>

13

<p>thanks brothy! i’m chancing you back right now!</p>

14

<p>Wow! It looks like you’ll have a pretty awesome application, though you seem to be in like everything! You seem like a great match for all of the schools, so all you can do at this point is write a great essay, and get great recs. Because you never know what will happen with these top schools!
Chance back?

15

<p>Your stats are definitely strong, but as a fellow east-asian, I’ll tell you that there are a lot of us who have similar stats going for the same colleges which SUUUCKSSS. Just make sure your recs and your essays stand out and really show who you are because that will most likely be the determining factor between you and another asian with the same grades, scores, and ECs</p>

<p>chance me back please?

16

<p>alright, i’m going through the threads now! be on the lookout in the next few minutes!</p>

<p>thanks for chancing me too!</p>

17

<p>okay, just finished chancing back texvic and pikakei!</p>

18

<p>Id say Harvard, Yale, and Princeton would be your reaches. You will def get into the other schools with your great SAT/extracurricular activities. And I think your AP scores are fine, colleges don’t really care much for those as they care for the SATs/SAT2’s. Chance me back!</p>

<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1361355-chance-me-these-schools.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1361355-chance-me-these-schools.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

19

<p>You’ll have stiff competition especially since you’re asian but your stats are extremely impressive. I’d say HYPSM are reaches but I could see you getting into Duke, UChicago, Berkeley, and maybe Caltech.
Chance me back?
