Chance me! (HYP, Stanford, Dartmouth etc.) [CHANCE BACK]

Hi there,

I am in International student applying to be in the Class of 2019 applying for Economics.

My SAT 1 score is 2200, 770 M, 730 CR, 700 W in one sitting however, I scored a 7 in my essay. My SAT 2 scores are terrible at 730 Math II and 720 Bio E but I only had one opportunity to sit them in January.

I do A-Level and scored 4 A’s at AS in Biology, Chemistry, Economics and Mathematics. At A2 I am predicted 3 A’s and an A in my EPQ which is a 5000 word optional research project that I wrote on Financial bubbles. I also achieved an A in my A-Level arabic a year early.

ECs (?)
+I play golf for my country’s national team and my school team
+I was team manager of an F1 in schools team that competed in the world finals. (Google it :D) As it is a completely student led initiative I had to organize everything from the logistics to the sponsorship. I managed to get sponsorship from McLaren Automotive (It was actually signed off by the CFO himself) and set up a pit visit to the Red Bull F1 garage during the Formula 1 race weekend.
+I started the Economics society at my school, weekly session and bi-weekly debates.
+I have completed an internship at a government economic research centre and am currently liaising with the director of geopolitical and international studies program completing my own research paper.
+I took part in a country wide virtual stock-exchange competition where schools have 1 team that must invest in stocks during certain trading periods giving almost weekly presentation on their strategy and rationale behind decisions.

  • I spent 16 weeks volunteering at a government run primary school for the mentally challenged (2 hours a week mostly helping out in classes and teaching english)
    +I volunteered for 20 weeks at a hospital mainly working with nurses in the accident and emergency ward (2.5 hours a week)
    +I spent a week in Thailand teaching English to students and helped to build new classrooms.
    +I completed the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze and Silver awards (Again google should help :smiley: )
    +I was selected for a prestigious scholarship program where only the Top 10 students (academically) are chosen.
    +I completed a CMI Level 3 qualification designed for Junior Managers.

I am applying to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford (My insane reaches), Columbia, Dartmouth, Duke, UPenn, UC Berkely (Reaches), UCLA, UCSB, UCSD.

Phew, that took forever!

Anything would be appreciated will chance back if linked :slight_smile:

Any serious interest by a university’s golf coach could likely be a decisive admissions ‘plus.’

Harvard- High Reach
Yale- High Reach
Princeton- High Reach
Stanford- High Reach
UCB- Low Reach/High Match
Dartmouth- Low Reach/High Match
UPenn- Reach/Low Reach
UCLA- Low Reach
UCSD- Match
UCSB- Match
Columbia- Reach/Low Reach
Duke- Low Reach

HYPS are reaches for everyone but your scores coupled with national recognition in several ECs negate your International drawback and make it borderline possible. UPenn and Columbia are the next step down and are both reach/low reaches. Your scores are closer to their target range but they are still extremely selective. The other Ivys and ivy-esques are low matches/ high reaches, you have a good shot there. You should get into the other UCs. Your ECs seem to be really strong and your scores and grades are pretty good. All together a strong applicant, keep up the good work and Good Luck!

Your scores are low, ECs are solid.

Your ECs are great! Your scores could be better, but they’re certainly nothing that should keep you out, especially since your predicted scores are good.

Harvard- Reach
Yale- Reach
Princeton- Reach
Stanford- Reach
UCB- Low Reach/High Match
Dartmouth- Low Reach/High Match
UPenn- Mid/Low Reach (assuming not Wharton)
Columbia- Mid/Low Reach

I’m not too sure about the others.
