<p>The worst thing about me ... I suck at AP testing. I know the material, I just don't test well for these exams. I feel like a lot of other things I'm ok with, but my AP scores are mainly 4's.</p>

<p>Ethnicity: Asian female</p>

<p>Also, I was waitlisted at Northwestern University and Washington University so that kind of depressed me and now I'm really anxious about the rest of my college choices, which are mainly top tier</p>

<p>anyone? :(</p>

<p>Your stats are really amazing, you seem to be an extremely well rounded student. I don’t think the AP tests will be that big of a factor, especially considering your other accolades. One thing missing might be a sport, and while I’m sure you don’t need one, it looks great to colleges that such a smart person would take a sport. Those two schools should not be too big of a challenge for you, I think you are above average for their applicant pools</p>

<p>thanks for your feedback. anybody else? i’m especially worried because I was waitlisted in my backup schools …</p>

<p>Northwestern and Wash U in St. Louis shouldn’t be considered safeties. Anyways, what schools did you want to be chanced for? In terms of Ivies, low for HYP, Columbia. Decent for Penn, Brown. High for Cornell.
The process is somewhat arbitrary, so these two aren’t necessarily indicators.</p>

<p>yeah, sorry i should have put that earlier - in terms of ivy’s please. thanks for your feedback.</p>

<p>First of all: How the hell do you do all those extracurriculars? lol</p>

<p>Ivy’s are reaches for anyone, there’s thousands of students with your same exact stats applying to HYP.</p>

<p>the EC’s are over the course of 4 years - most of them i’ve been continuing since freshman year and they’re also things from summer and during the school year so it balances out. Also it takes a lot of energy to be active in these clubs, of course.</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>
