<p>Hi guys, please chance me for Vandy?</p>
<p>Stats:</p>
<p>International Student from Pakistan.
Not applying for aid
SAT I: 1410 - 750 CR, 660 M (retook in May, hopefully much better score)
GPA: not calculated at my school but if it were it'd be 3.87 UW
GCSEs: 11 A's
Class Rank: Again not calculated, per se. Was 8/176 in the GCSE results at my school. Definitely top 10% if not Top 5%.
My school sends a great deal of people to Ivies and other top universities each year. This year we had Princeton, Duke, Northwestern, Brown, Middlebury, amongst others. Last year, we had Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Penn, Dartmouth, Cornell, Chicago, Vanderbilt, etc.
Essay: I topped in my school in English Language, and I won the award for best essay writer so I think they'll be reasonably good, hopefully.
Recs: Will be very good, fingers crossed
I'm President of the Drama Club, Lead Role in the Play, done 3 years of debating, won numerous tournaments, shortlisted for national team, MUNs nationally and internationally, won the best english declamation speaker and parliamentary debator awards at school. I've been a regular freelancer for a national newspaper for the past year. Chief Editor of literary magazine.
on the school tennis team this year.</p>
<p>Might want to actually post this in the Vanderbilt University forums…</p>
<p>this was an accident i meant washU!</p>
<p>You hurt us here LOL. Lesson: make sure to have the college name double check before sending your essay and app to. Seriously, if you like to be chanced, post on the chance thread.</p>
<p>no it was because I had just posted in the Vanderbilt forum as well, so had Vandy on my mind. :p</p>
<p>HA, the chance thread there has not been fruitful either.</p>
<p>Seem like a bubble at best for WashU with a 650 Math SAT and 3.87 GPA.
What about SAT Subject Test scores?
AP test results will matter.
I don’t see you getting into Princeton (guessing based on your name that is your goal).</p>
<p>I’m an international student. I’m taking the Alevels. I’ve retaken SAT I. SAT Subject Tests in October.</p>
<p>SAT I 2nd Take: 2290 - 750 CR, 740 M, 800 W</p>
<p>Dude, just make one chance thread in the chances forum instead of posting all over this website. You have like ten chance threads going right now.</p>
<p>I did make one in the chances thread but no one replied.</p>
<p>I honestly just don’t understand chance threads. No amount of people saying you have good credentials is going to get you into the school. Hell, if you asked a Wash U admissions officer to chance you, even they couldn’t give you an answer until they saw the entire applicant pool. The best you can do is write good essays and look online to see if your test scores and GPA are good enough.</p>
<p>Many people probably share this sentiment and don’t reply to chance threads because they don’t feel obligated to give an ego boost to a random person who really doesn’t need it.</p>
<p>Its clear that wash u isn’t your dream school. With an over enrolled class for the second time in three years, Wash U will really want the people that they know will attend, and make it harder on everyone else. That alone might be the most important factor.</p>
<p>Is Wash U every applicant’s dream school? It may not be my absolute dream, but it is up there, HIGH up there.</p>
<p>Of course not, but the adcoms would rather admit someone who has wash u as their dream school versus someone who is not.</p>
<p>Make sure to visit the campus and have an interview.</p>
<p>do they interview internationals?</p>
<p>Depending where you live, yes.</p>
<p>I’m from Pakistan. Is there a list of countries where interviews are offered or…?</p>
