chance this arrogent kid at my school

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>This kid is really disliked by almost everyone at school because he acts like he is superior to everyone. This kid's dream school is Princeton and he applied early. Imo, he has perfect or close to perfect stats. I'll tell whether he got in or not later.</p>

<p>AP classes: Bio, Chem, English lit, US history, Macro/Micro econ, Spanish, Calc AB and BC. He got 5's on all the tests except spanish, got a 4.</p>

<p>Straight A's his whole high school (my high school is VERY competitve, 3 already got into stanford and 2 got deferred, thats only counting people i know), but he's not val. He's ranked 3 or 4 i think.</p>

<p>Sat 1: 800 V, 800 W, 780 M
Sat 2: 800 M2, 750 chem, 750 bio</p>

<p>EC:
National Merit Semi finalist
President of Key club
President of Interact
Water polo
Swim Team
Crew (rowing)
Probably some others i don't know about</p>

doesn't matter whether he got in or not. just want to know what you guys think his chances are.</p>

4

<p>50%</p>

<p>10 chars</p>

5

<p>Eh, good chances, but still a toss-up since its Princeton.</p>

<p>Deferred.</p>

6

<p>Very good stats...decent EC's...somewhat above average chance. 40% or so?</p>

7

<p>If you describe him as arrogant, his chances may be closer to 0. If a teacher recommendation addresses him as arrogant and self-centered, etc. that alone will hurt chances pretty bad. Stats don't mean you get in, personality counts</p>

8

<p>i thought teachers couldnt right negative recs?</p>

9

<p>he's a good match for princeton because people from princeton are cocky or somewhere way up there.</p>

10

<p>I'd say about 50% chance, amazing stats, but poor EC's.</p>

11

<p>I say pretty damn good. It doesn't mean 100%, but 50/50 isn't far off.</p>

12

<p>people at princeton are arrogant and stuff? chaoses, how do you know? if you have an article or something that describes this, can u PM it to me?</p>

<p>or, is this just ur opinion? how did u come up with this opinion?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>I wouldn't say people at Princeton are arrogant. I live in Princeton, and the college students I see in town, waiting to buy ice cream, etc all seem like nice people who are pretty down-to-earth for where they go to college. </p>

<p>Either way, his stats are really good. But does he have any special academic awards or honors, volunteer work, etc? Assuming he has all of those, I would say his chances are decent to good.</p>

Bingo! Just found out 3 days ago. I don't whether to feel bad or laugh at him.</p>

15

<p>Don't laugh man. The scarlet D hurts.</p>

16

<p>lol you dont know the kid. he went around acting like he ALREADY got in or something.</p>

17

<p>I don't know how you know all that about him since you dislike him so much.</p>

18

<p>maybe you should focus on improving your own stats and not posting chances threads for some random kid.</p>

<p>or maybe that kid is you and you're afraid to admit it.</p>

<p>why else would you waste so much time hovering over a post for chances?</p>

19

<p>doode, you obviously dont like this kid, so why give a damn and spend time opening a thread for a kid who doesnt want or care about his chances.</p>

20

<p>"why else would you waste so much time hovering over a post for chances?"</p>

<p>I was guessing either that this kid is lying to us, or that he's is jealous. You never know.</p>
