2

<p>Most outrageously Asian applicant I've ever seen.</p>

3

<p>^bad thing? :(
btw i don't study all day if that's what you're thinking. in fact i really have to start studying if i wanna pass junior year....</p>

<p>Narcissa, since you have flattered me on my chances threads, I felt it was only right to return the love. You have great stats for Yale; I'd be surprised if they didn't accept you. I'd kill for your SAT scores, BTW. Well, not literally. ;)</p>

5

<p>Thanks! :) I was serious about what I said btw...</p>

6

<p>normally i would say "you're in!".... but now i'm so disheartened by all of those amazing kids who were deferred/rejected..</p>

<p>nevertheless, i'm sure you'll get it... and let's hope i do too!! Yale 2013 perhaps?</p>

7

<p>yeahyeahyeah!</p>

8

<p>pretty darn impressive... pretty darn impressive</p>

<p>especially the origami club part lol</p>

9

<p>^hahaha. was the rest of ur post sarcastic</p>

10

<p>I think you have an great chance of getting in. Your PSAT scores are to die for (I just got mine back: not anywhere near as impressive yours). Are you very "asian"?: yes. But do you go beyond that?: Definitely. Yale would be crazy for not taking someone like you. Next year all you need to do is write a killer essay. You're gonna get into an amazing school either way!</p>

11

<p>Obviously she's qualified. The point is, she's a stereotype.</p>

12

<p>wellll, my school last year a couple ppl have gotten into yale with worse stats overall. it's pretty hard to keep up grades in addition to ECs are my HS...the classes are pretty hard and the school is like the best in NJ.</p>

<p>besides I'm a junior so I hope I will get more awards in the next couple months, cuz I'm taking the physics/bio/math/chem olympiads etc.</p>

13

<p>which school do you go to? I have a friend in a school in New Jersey which he says is amongst the top in the country??!! What's the name of ur school? Is it close to Point Pleasant Beach?</p>

14

<p>Alright. I see PROBLEMS with the clubs you've listed:</p>

<p>"President of origami club"
"president of cancer awareness club"
"president of this volunteering club"
"president of future doctors club"
"VP of animal protection club"</p>

<p>They are a JOKE. Leadership is good, but VP of "animal protection club" is like using gold leaf as toilet paper -- it is pointless. As an admissions officer, I would defer/reject you based upon asianness and pseudo/lame activities.</p>

<p>Sorry for telling you my honest opinion (I'm sure you are a decent person).</p>

15

<p>lol
no they're not the real names
i just described them
i didn't really want to use their real names
plus, im not going to put all of that on an APP
because they only allow like 7 spaces and i have other things i need to put, too</p>

16

<p>i think all your stuff is really good</p>

<p>i recommend making a resume so that you don't have to leave off any of your activities -- they are really what make you stand out</p>

17

<p>but everyone says i don't have focus >_____<</p>

<p>so should I just drop whatever isn't math/science-focused. cuz that's basically my "focus"</p>

18

<p>1,000th post!! woot. wait why am i posting my 1000th post here?</p>

19

<p>Yeah, why are you posting your 1000th post here when you could be posting in in one of the other 11 chance threads you made...</p>

20

<p>I see that you are an academically exceptional student, grades and sat's are perfect, nothing to worry about them</p>

<p>i see that u are passionate about becoming a doctor, about helping others etc. etc</p>

<p>try to convey that successfully and in a personal way in your essays and you are in!</p>
