Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I'm an Asian male living in suburb in NY. I'm from Korea and not a permanent resident or u.s citizen.
I'd also want to point out that I go to one of the best public schools in the state, perhaps in the nation. About 20-30 kids make to Ivy schools every year. If counting non-Ivy schools like MIT, Chicago, Stanford, and small liberal arts, it's around 40, well over 10% of graduating class. Although, my standardized test scores aren't as impressive, I'm positive I'd ranked above top 5% of the class.
Here's my stats</p>

<p>Academics:
unweighted GPA-4.85 out of 5.5 (5.5=A+) probly equivalent of 3.9
weighted GPA- N/A but it's somewhere around 4.25
Class Rank: N/A</p>

<p>Scores:</p>

<p>SAT I: 1920
Math: 720 Reading: 620 Writing: 580
SAT II: Math II: 730 Physics: 740</p>

<p>I'm not a good standardized test taker...
Considering English isn't my first language, i was pretty happy about 620 on reading.
Should of gotten 800 on both of SAT IIs. Everything was rusty when I took the test.</p>

<p>AP CALC AB-5
AP Phy C-5
AP World-4</p>

<p>Courses worth mentioning:
AP CALC
AP BIO
AP WORLD
AP PHYSICS
SUPA PSY
SUPA SOCIOLOGY
SUPA STATS
SUPA ECON
SUPA PUBLIC AFFAIRS
SUPA= Syracuse University Project Advance
It's an exactly same course taught at Syracuse University, except it's taught by qualified HS teachers at my HS
CALCULUS II,
Differential Equations at local CC both got a A
Majority of Academic courses were honors, AP, or SUPA
exception of Freshman year, where I attended a school offering no honor classes.
Pretty good recs + great personal statement(personal opinion)</p>

<p>ECs</p>

<p>JV/Varsity Soccer 3yrs
Varsity Tennis 4yrs
Volunteered for several different organizations and public places, totaling over 200+ hrs
Math League 2yrs, captain (if this even counts)
Junior Achievement: 11th grade-financial officer
Work experience over the summer at a furniture factory for over a month
4th degree black belt in Taekwondo, taught kids at a local church</p>

<p>I know my E.Cs are well-below average
I have no academic honors or anything like that, because I attended 3 different schools during my high school career.</p>

<p>Hook:1st generation 4-yr college</p>

<p>So all that being mentioned, what are my chances of getting in to Cornell AEM or CALS(E.D), R.D to Northwestern for econ, Notre dame, U-M Ross, NYU Stern, Emory, and Wharton?
How about like Vandi and Wake Forest? I feel like I should be able to get in.
and small colleges like Swarthmore, Vassar, Wesleyan, and Washington and Lee?</p>

<p>P.S and I also have disciplinary history and was suspended this year for drinking on school property, but I explained it VERY WELL on the explanation section.
Oh and my high school has extremely high acceptance rate to Cornell, about 45%</p>

<p>Thanks for reading.
Don't be hesitant to chance me, I'll chance you back!</p>

<p>Cornell: low reach – If you apply ED, you have a much better chance there, especially if your school has a history with them, however I head AEM is super competitive and your SAT I scores probably turn that into a high reach
Notre Dame: match
UM Ross: ?
Emory: Again, if you raise your SAT I scores, its a good match but now a reach
Wharton: Try ED, you’ll have a good chance there
Vandy: very concerned with test scores, so reach
Swat: high match
Vassar: match
Wesleyan: low reach
W&L:?</p>

<p>Chance me back!

<p>If your high school is as good as you make it out to be, I say:</p>

<p>Cornell: low/mid reach
Notre Dame: high match
UM Ross: high match/low reach
Emory: low reach/high match
Wharton: high reach
Vandy: low reach
Swath: high match/low reach
Vassar: low reach/high match
Wesleyan: low reach/high match
W&L:-high match
Wake-high match</p>

<p>Good luck :)</p>

<p>I’d say you have a 50% shot at Cornell.
Very good chance at Notre Dame and your other choices.
Try taking the SAT again, if you improve your score…it might increase your chances.
Join a couple of clubs and make sure your essay is amazing!!!</p>

<p>PLEASE CHANCE ME!!!</p>

<p>usernamescreen, I was thinking the same thing. 50% chance… kind of depressing, cuz I know I should be able to get in, considering I’m as smart as most of kids attending Cornell from my school… but it’s just that SAT I score. Cornell dean of admission told me SAT doesn’t really count in their process. But thanks for the kind words.</p>

<p>Maserrano, High high match for Swath… yapp I agree with ya haha… Wake Forest is high match for me? Should be a reach school for me I think. But thanks for the kind words.</p>
