Woah! Yur stats are great! Its really difficult to predict the top ivys! You shouldn’t have problem getting into the lower ones and I would expect one or two even from the Top Ivys! Dont worry you should be into some great ivys soon :slight_smile: Rest depends on luck!

You look promising. Stanford loves siemens winners so you are looking good!

4

I looked at your stats and thought you were a sure thing but your not #1 in the class so aim lower like a pretty good state school.

5

Couldn’t imagine you not getting in to wherever you decide to apply. As long as your essays and interview go well, you’ll be able to pick your school. My class has two kids going to Stanford who are far less qualified than you.

I’m not sure if ooohcollege is being sarcastic or not, but if he isn’t, he’s way off the mark. You have very good chance at any of the Ivies and Stanford, your stats are amazing. Get great recs and write some amazing essays, and you will have an amazing chance.

Uh… you can proctor the SAT in high school? Pretty sure that isn’t a thing.

Stats are great. Siemens and USAMO are impressive;however, lots of the club-style ECs look padded/just for an application.

Also, those essay topics are terrible in my opinion. They are insanely stereotypical and not original at all. All three of those are very common for people to “care” about and write essays. Unless you’re really confident, I’d try to do something that hasn’t been beaten like a dead horse.

Honestly, I think you’ll get in to a few of them. I wouldn’t bet on HYPS even though I think you’re very qualified because they’re insane but the others you have a very good shot

How did you learn Hebrew being of Indian and Hispanic descent?

Your stats are absolutely flawless. If your essays and recs were good, you have a good shot at all the schools you applied. I would be surprised if you did not at least get into a few ivys. Good luck!

No one is a certainty for the first-tier, most-competitive university admission, but you have an excellent record and a fine opportunity to be accepted. I offer two suggestions:

  1. Essays are important and you would be wise to begin devoting considerable thought to how you will craft this key application component soon.
  2. If – and this may not apply – you have one clearcut “ideal” institution and if the financial arrangements are viable for that school (use the NPC to ascertain what, if anything, your family contribution is likely to be), applying ED/EA will provide a marginally enhanced acceptance opportunity.

Congratulations and good luck!
