CHANCE ME if you don't like it when people title threads in all capitals

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Demographic info: I'm a white male from North Carolina. </p>

<p>Objective stuff:
SAT 1: 2100 (690 CR, 730 Math, 680 WR)
ACT: still waiting
SAT 2: Math 2: 730, US: 780
GPA unweighted: 3.9
class rank: 9/377 ~ top 2.5%. </p>

<p>School info:
One of the best public high schools in my state-very competitive.</p>

<p>Course load:
I will have taken 12 AP/IB classes by the time I graduate. This equates to a very rigorous course load at my school. I've gotten 4/5 on all of my AP classes so far (taking the IB class this year). I also took an introductory psychology class at Cornell in the summer, which I got an A in. </p>

<p>Extra curricular:
*Moot Court
*Model UN
*Student Human Resources Council
*2 Jewish youth groups, one of which I am co-president of
*founded Psychology club, currently co-president
*NCCJ ambassador
*1 year of varsity wrestling
*NHS-tutoring, etc.
*volunteering stuff
*hundreds of hours of baseball research-(called sabermetrics)-this also includes learning some advanced statistical computer programming and database skills</p>

<p>Awards: AP scholar with distinction, junior marshall (top ten weighted GPA at my school junior year). Some of my baseball research has been published on a fairly prestigious website (I'm definitely the only kid in high school who has articles posted on this stuff).</p>

<p>Recs: Consider these as excellent. Everyone probably says that, but you have no other information to go off of. </p>

<p>Essays: Consider these as excellent. I wrote about some unique stuff (i.e sabermetric stuff)</p>

<p>**Where I'm applying<a href="I%20will%20also%20provide%20what%20I%20think%20are%20my%20chances%20of%20acceptance%20for%20additional%20context">/B</a>:</p>

<p>ED/EA:
Duke (Trinity): 30% (because the ED acceptance rate is 39% and I think I am little below average. I also had an interview yesterday, so I've showed interest.)
UNC CH: 90% (It's pretty easy to get into from my school because I'm instate. UNC CH is way harder to get into out of state)</p>

<p>RD:
Cornell: 50% (I'm a triple legacy)
J-Hopkins: 40%
Emory: 50%</p>

<p>If possible, please chance me by providing a percentage of acceptance. Thanks ahead of time.</p>

<p>I agree with all of your percentages.</p>

<p>EA acceptance at duke is not 39%…more list 28ish</p>

4

<p>The 39% figure comes from here: [Duke</a> University | Admission Facts and Statistics](<a href=“http://www.admissionsconsultants.com/college/duke.asp]Duke”>http://www.admissionsconsultants.com/college/duke.asp) . The ED acceptance rate is definitely >35% wherever I have looked. I went to an information session and they said 36%.</p>

<p>Duke (Trinity): I’d say you’re about right at 30%, meaning reach
UNC CH: In
Cornell: With triple legacy, I’d say match
J-Hopkins: Low match
Emory: Match</p>

<p>Remember to chance back! :)</p>

<p>bump…please. I’ll chance back!</p>

<p>Hey, shock thanks for answering my question</p>

<p>Duke (Trinity): Reach
UNC CH: In
Cornell: High match
J-Hopkins: Match
Emory: Match</p>

<p>Hi! thanks for replying! I can’t say I’m the most knowledgeable in college admissions but here’s my opinion on the couple of colleges I am more familiar with:
Duke: 35% (SAT may be a little low, but solid EC’s. depends mostly on how much of your unique personality shines through in your essays/interview)
Cornell: 60% (which college are you applying to?)
Johns Hopkins: 60%
Good luck!</p>

11

<p>UNC: in
Duke: mid-reach
Cornell: match
Johns Hopkins: match
Emory: match</p>

12

<p>duke doesn’t take interest into account when making a decision.</p>

<p>but these are all schools that I can see you in.</p>

<p>write a good essay and you are in to any of them.</p>

13

<p>triple legacy for cornell… that should help you a lot, I’d say its a low to mid target (depending on which school in cornell)</p>

<p>UNC should be a safety </p>

<p>John Hopkins and Emory should be a match</p>

<p>Sat score is a bit low, GPA is really solid, maybe ur ACT will help :)</p>

14

<p>your GPA is really good, and your SAT scores are okay for a college like Duke. but you do have some really unique ECs that i believe can really help you! good luck!</p>
