<p>Hello,my name is Kendall and I'm going to apply to Princeton next year as a senior. Im an African American(black) that lives in New York. I only live with my mother, two sisters and my brother. We are a low income family(30k) and one of my sister's currently attends college(BMCC). My mother and father have yet to go to college. Im looking to get a job on Wall Street and work as an Ibanker for a top firm. Below are my stats
GPA: 3.75 NOT INCLUDING FRESHMAN YEAR---> I don't think they look @ that year and if you NEED to know, it was a 3.3.
Rank is top 10%. My high school isn't competitive and send 1 or 2 students to top 50 universities each year.
SAT score is 2350--Math-800 CR-800
3 AP's expecting 4 or 5 on exam
Math2: 800
Physics: 710
EC's-Basketball Team, 3 years;recruited athlete, 270 hours community service, Chess team 3 years, Active Tutor--done about 10 hours/week
I currently have a part time job at McDonalds;been there for 3 years now
Recs should be AMAZING-great relationship with teachers and I've been one of their best students if not the best
Im a decent writer(more of a math/science kind of guy) but essay should be fine
Any more info needed just ask
Colleges- Harvard, Wharton (ED), Princeton, Yale, Stern, Columbia, Cornell, U of Chicago, MIT, Northwestern, Stanford, Williams</p>
<p>Your GPA is pretty weak. Your ECs could be better as well. However, your SAT score is great, and the fact that you are a URM should boost your chances. I’d say yes to Williams, Northwestern, and Stern (But note, NYU gives practically no financial aid). Your probably have a good shot at Cornell and UChicago as well. I can’t give you accurate chances for the rest of the top Ivies/MIT, but it is definitely possible. Good luck!</p>
<p>bump…!!</p>
<p>I don’t think Cornell, Northwestern, and Williams are very strong targets for banking. I would definitely add NYU to that list. </p>
<p>I think given your background and strong SAT score, you have a reasonable shot at all those schools. Good luck</p>
