<p>He's not sure what he'll write his essays about yet. He wants to write about his experience coming to a new high school, but he's afraid of sounding too academic and not showcasing his personality enough. He's very ethical, sweet, funny, and sort of indie. I think he would interview really, really well. He's very passionate about math and science, and he'll probably major in mathematics or engineering. He's sort of interested in law, but he loves science more.</p>

<p>Thank you for reading all of this!! :)</p>

<p>Seems decent.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>lmao.</p>

3

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I know. >.> D&D takes up too much time for him not to have a title. It’s almost ridiculous.</p>

4

<p>He seems to be lacking in number of AP courses. Other than that, he’s a competitive applicant at the indicated schools.</p>

5

<p>I should have explained that. D: Our current high school doesn’t offer AP. It’s completely college curriculum.
Thanks a lot for your input. :)</p>

6

<p>bump >.> <3<3<3</p>

<p>No, you don’t understand. Dungeon Master is the usual title for someone who runs a game. It’s not something he made up or something. S’normal, I swear. …By which I mean, not any weirder than generally playing D+D.</p>

8

<p>I know that, lol.</p>

9

<p>I’m thinking that “Publicist for knitting club” clinches the deal.</p>

<p>Actually, at this point, I think that doing well in Siemens & Intel could be the tipping point that makes his application stand out.</p>

10

<p>i don’t want to boost your bf’s hopes, but he has a great change at most of those colleges (brown, duke, mit). My brother got into princeton with 760 Bio M, 800 Chem, 800 Math II, had a 94 (3.9 - 4.0 on most scales I assume) unweighted GPA, took 10 AP courses, and played 2 varsity sports. Your bf has great grades, good SAT scores, and really good SAT II scores. The awards are also great; brown and duke would love that. Looks good and should be a very competitive applicant; great chance of getting in.</p>

<p>@UT84321- Really? We’re both publicists for the same knitting club. ;D That’s encouraging. </p>

<p>He’s definitely one of the strongest students in his lab. I’m sure he can get at least semifinalist. His project is all eco-friendly and really relevant.</p>

<p>I also really think his essays could help. He’s not like, an amazing writer, but he has a lot of good ideas, and if he presents his personality well I think he’d get in anywhere. (I’m a taddd biased though. ;))</p>

<p>@przgonna- thanks! I’m excited for him. :slight_smile: Good luck to your brother.</p>

12

<p>Boyfriend wants me to bump… >.></p>

13

<p>Whats a potterpie? o.o</p>

14

<p>It’s just a username I made up a while ago. I like Harry Potter, and I like pie, and I like alliteration. So there you go… :)</p>

15

<p>Just two. One of us is being moved to a secretary position.
We’re a knitting club. We have a crochet division, but they’re two very different things. :)</p>

16

<p>^^^ this person asked how many publicists were in the crochet club but I can’t delete it ‘__’</p>

17

<p>okay sorry for necro’ing the thread,
but he got Siemens semifinalist.
His SAT actually went down in October, so he’s sticking with th 2230 and his SAT IIs.
He applied early to MIT and Cal Tech.</p>

<p>updated chances with Siemens semifinalist? everyone at our school (including me) is pretty convinced he’ll get into MIT or at least that he deserves it.</p>

18

<p>He’s also co-captain of our school’s soccer team.</p>

19

<p>He probably still has a great chance but i’m fairly sure ALL SAT’S that you have taken are sent to colleges. I’m not sure if you can pick and choose (thats what i’ve heard anyway)
So if they see that he went down it might be a problem…</p>

<p>might need some clarification on that, but otherwise he looks like a great candidate</p>

20

<p>so… why are you proxy-posting for him?</p>

<p>he looks pretty good to me though-- sat score should be bumped up a bit though. (which i expect he will do)</p>
