Chance me

Chance Me / Match Me!

Hello guys, I’m a boy from germany and it’s my biggest dream to study at one of the best universities in the US.
So i would really appreciate it, if you might have a second and chance me.

GPA nearly 4.0 (school system is a bit different in germany, but my grades are similar with a 4.0).
SAT 780 / 780 / 780
SAT Subject Test 780 / 780
ACT 36
Scored 110 at the TOEFL test, I guess you need at least 100 for the Ivies (I’m still improving my english everyday to be good enough for the college standard & I know that my written english needs some improvement :slight_smile: )

EC:
I am writing a book at the moment (probably a bestseller) about how teen’s and young adults can be successful although they are so young.
I interviewed ten of the most successful people (soocer pro’s, Germanys youngest professor, young entrepreneurs, most of
them got in to a forbes list) in Germany with the age of under 30 and I dedicate every single person one chapter where i write about his success factor (determination, discipline, motivation etc.) that made him the individual he is today.
One of them is for example Toni Kroos, maybe you know him as a player from Real Madrid.

Furthermore I am in the managing board of a non-profit organization.
The organisation helps people in Burundi ( the poorest country on this planet) to enable them a better life (building schools, etc.) and I’m going to start a new project in India in the next few months.

Last but not least I got two pretty good recommendation letters from my teacher and my principal (standing in very good contact with both).

And like I said, my written english needs some improvement but it won’t be a problem anymore when I apply to these universities next year…

Please chance me for the following colleges:

1.Harvard
2.Stanford
3.Columbia
4.Princeton
5.Yale
6.Upenn
7.Darthmouth
8.Cornell
9.Brown
10.UCL
11.Georgetown
12.Berkeley
13.UC
14.Duke

Thanks a lot to everyone!

Hello, your academics seem very impressive! I am not sure how weighting is done in Germany, but I assume that your GPA that you have listed is your unweighted GPA, so that is very promising. Your SAT score is very good, but I would recommend that you submit your ACT score to colleges since that score is better when scaled to your SAT score. You have taken two subject tests, and have done very well on both of them, but if you can take a few more (maybe 2 or 3) then you will improve your chances of getting into these schools. Your current extracurricular activities and achievements are incredibly impressive! I assume you are also involved in a few other activities and clubs at your school and in your community. If not, I encourage you to get involved in some that directly relate to your field of interest. Overall I think you have a VERY good shot at getting into these schools (even though admissions is often random), and I wish you the best in applying!

I think that it is exceptionally difficult to predict, but that you do have a chance. You should also be aware that not only is whether you get in hard to predict, but the cost is also hard to predict and could be quite high (in excess of $70,000 per year is possible).

Thus I would definitely keep options open outside of the US, probably in Germany.
