Chance me? I'll chance you back :)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm currently a junior at a highly competitive public high school in California. I will take more AP courses as a senior, and all of my scores are either already earned or conservative estimates. Thanks for reading in so far :) Leave a link, and I'll be sure to chance you back!</p>

<p>Schools considered (in order of preference): Stanford, UC Berkeley, MIT, Cornell, UIUC, UCLA, UCSD</p>

<p>GPA: 4.62/3.92
Class rank: 12/382
SAT: 2350</p>

<p>SAT II:
Math II - 800
Chemistry - 800
Chinese - 800</p>

<p>AP Scores:
AP Euro - 5
AP Calculus BC - 5
AP English Language - 5
AP Chemistry - 5
APUSH - 4
AP Chinese - 5</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars:
Chinese Club Treasurer: 4 years
Math Team: Captain/Co-Captain: 2 years
Music Performance Club President: 4 years
Piano: Level 10/Advanced
Martial Arts: 5 years
Basketball Coach: 3 years
Teacher at Local Math Academy: 2 years</p>

<p>Awards:
Various composition awards
Minor math competition awards</p>

<p>Recs:
1 amazing rec, 1 mediocre one</p>

<p>I think my awards are the weakest part of my entire app... I got interested in the math competitions and AMCs in my sophomore year, so it was a late start. This year, I will most likely end up being close to qualifying for USAMO, but not quite :(</p>

<p>I have a feeling that you are an Asian male.</p>

<p>Stanford, MIT: High Reach
Cornell: Decent chances</p>

<p>UCB and other UCs: Most likely In</p>

3

<p>Thanks :] I hope my essay can make a difference in this, though.</p>

4

<p>I think you have a good shot at all of them. However, Stanford and MIT are still going to be reaches. Chance back?</p>

5

<p>You have great stats! Based on that alone, you should get into some great schools!</p>

6

<p>Awesome stats. Like for anyone, stanford and MIT are a reach -
You seem like a match for cornell and for all the UCS I’d say your in. </p>

<p>chance me?

<p>Great, thank you guys! Just wondering though… If I had qualified for USAMO this year, how much of a difference do you think it would have made?</p>

8

<p>Falcon… BUMP!!!</p>

<p>Your chances are as follows</p>

<p>Stanford, MIT: Reach (This is mainly because they are reaches for everyone, but I would say you still have better chances than they average individual, as you are very well above the average individual except maybe community service? Idk if your teaching is volunteering)</p>

<p>Cornell: Match (You should get in)</p>

<p>Everything else: In for sure</p>

<p>Chance me back pleaseeeeee!!!

<p>good chances for all the others, but stanford and MIT might be a reach. I think you got a good bet on Cornell. Good luck!
Chance me back please!!

<p>goddang u have a 4.6 GPA and you are only rank 12 ***…I’m rank 12 with a 4.3 what school do u go to man.</p>

12

<p>LOL I’d rather not divulge that much info, but I go to one of the stronger schools in the SoCal region</p>

13

<p>You’ll be fine. Your stats are unbelievable… but you sort of lack a differentiating factor. So I would say Stanford and MIT are High Reaches (as they are for most), whereas the rest are matches or safeties.</p>

14

<p>MIT, Stanford, etc. is a reach for every super-smart Asian male. It’s a total crapshoot, but you’re on the right track. You need a ton more awards (which you already know) and evidence that you’re doing something academic over the summer. Best of luck.</p>

<p>Boooooooomp :D</p>

16

<p>Shouln’t have a problem except for th Stanford/MIT ridiculous acceptance stuff:)
Chance back?:)</p>

17

<p>At this point a lot depends on your subjective stuff for whether or not you get into Stanford or MIT. If you put a lot of good thought into your supplement for Stanford and your common app essay I think you’ll have a good shot. For MIT qualifying for a math or science competition would help a lot but if you don’t just try to pass yourself off as as much of a math/science guy as possible on the MIT application.
