<p>Okay, so we should chance on this latest iteration of the information, when some of us consider the variance in the information the most telling? </p>
<p>Your changing your story, IMO, gives you a 0% chance.
Based on the first post in this thread only, I still give you single digit percent chances. </p>
<p>^^ If you would like to play a fools game, there is a whole section of CC devoted to student prognostication and you are welcome to post there: <a href=“Chance Me / Match Me! - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances</a>. Please note, however, that most adults with years of experience on CC don’t believe in “chance me” threads. That’s because when our kids were going through the college applications process, we could not make a prediction about our own child. If I could not predict that my daughter – who I know better than you – would be accepted to Harvard, but rejected from Yale and Princeton, or that my son would be rejected from Harvard, but accepted to Yale and Princeton, how then am I going to make a prediction about you? If your stats are within a college’s range, then you have a chance – beyond that, it’s anyone’s guess.</p>
<p>If you have time, look through the below decision threads. You’ll notice that students are rejected and accepted with basically the same stats as you.</p>

<p>So, what made the difference for the kids that were accepted? Having been through the process with my kids and other students, I’m a firm believer that it all comes down essays and teacher recommendations – and those are very subjective. Watch this video and see how random the process is: <a href=“College Admissions: Inside the Decision Room - YouTube”>College Admissions: Inside the Decision Room - YouTube. Best of luck to you!</p>
<p>Or . . . to repost from an old thread from Nothstarmom. (I have replaced the college she used with “Yale” as her statement is just as appropriate for Yale!)</p>

</p>
<p>I think it’s time to give it a rest, fu11rideschool. Take gibby’s advice above. And please, don’t reply “but, just chance me please.” No one knows your chances until application results come out. </p>
<p>I would love to read my son’s teacher recommendations! </p>
<p>Thank, gibby! I had forgotten about Northstarmom’s post. It is great.</p>
<p>Im sory everyone for this. its just im very worried and college determines my future. my parents sacrificed a lot to allow me to have these opportunities and if i dont get into a good college and get a high paying job after college, i wont be able to provide for my parents and thank them for raising me.</p>
<p>I think the big issue for most of us is that you lost all of your credibility by creating two personas that are completely different (we older folks know that honesty and integrity are two of the most important attributes -not just for college admissions but in life as well) . Besides, what difference does the opinions of a bunch of strangers about your chances make? The only opinions that truly matter is that of the admissions committees of the schools that you apply to. Whatever your stats and EC’s truly are, that is what you will have to take your chances with. It’s fiercely competitive out there as you know so all you can do is throw your hat in the ring and see what happens.</p>
<p>DO NOT fabricate EC’s or other accomplishments on your application! AO’s will look to the recs to corroborate what you have written. They will also verify using google searches or calls if they are interested in knowing more (or are suspicious). Making something up is the quickest way to the reject pile.</p>
<p>Finally, there are any number of “good colleges” out there where you can receive an excellent education and find a good job afterwards. It all depends on what you make of the opportunity. Bon chance!</p>
<p>okay you guys! The OP made an honest mistake and said that this last batch of ecs is authentic. If you’re not willing to chance him, then provide constructive criticism or something, but please stop harping on his character. </p>
<p>High school students are stressed, bottom line. Yes, some students deal with that stress better than others, and yes, the OP did make a poor choice by posting conflicting profiles, but let’s just move past that and help him improve. </p>
<p>@onlythebest13, what do you want any of us to say? Excluding his mistake, he is a moderately qualified candidate for Yale, and probably has the usual 6.3% chance. And it’s taken 40+ posts to get to what could have been evident to all on the very first post, if we hadn’t been diverted by his poor choice in dealing with stress. </p>
<p>“Honest mistake” ??!!! </p>
<p>If the current set of stats and ec’s are authentic then why didn’t he just post them the first time (just a month ago)? Sorry, but I’m not buying it. My constructive criticism was to make sure he acts with honesty and integrity going forward - especially on his apps. My second piece constructive advice was one that @gibby tries to drive home, none of us are capable of truly chancing him regardless if what he posts is “authentic” or not.</p>

<p>I have no comment on the situation going on above, but assuming you are genuine, a college does NOT determine your future nor your potential for a high earning job. It is all about how hard you work while there, the experiences you have, and how you present yourself to a future employer. Just as there are amazing students that go on to do marvelous things from attending state flagships, going to a highly ranked school does not mean anything if you don’t have the chops to make up for it. I can’t speak for every parent, but most parents just want you to be happy doing something you love and be in a stable financial situation after college. While I understand the part about supporting them in their old age, the first and primary thing you need to know is that success is not necessarily determined by the college you went to, the place where you lived, or the major you selected. It is about what you make of those opportunities wherever you go. Don’t let the stress get to you, because it is only one small portion of your life and after you get your first job it will be about the experiences you have had not the college you went to for undergrad</p>
<p>I struggle to buy that someone was able to accomplish all of this in 2 years of high school even without the nonsense about the app and book sales.</p>
<p>Exactly. I’m still not buying it. But whether you’re pulling our leg or not, I would advise you to have some proofreading help with your essays, at the very least. ("I’m sory everyone for this. its just im very worried and college determines my future. my parents sacrificed a lot to allow me to have these opportunities and if i dont get into a good college and get a high paying job after college, i wont be able to provide for my parents and thank them for raising me. ")–Colleges do care about grammar, spelling, and punctuation in essays…</p>
<p>your UW GPA and SAT I are on the low side for Yale. USABO semi’s should help a bit though. I wish you luck!
