All comments/feedbacks/clarfication questions are welcome!</p>
<p>get a research internship if you can. Other than that, it sounds like you’ve pretty much done all you can. Thanks for filtering out all the junk from your resume lol.</p>
<p>You have great scores and good ECs. I think you’ve done pretty much all you can do to make yourself a competitive applicant at these schools. Good luck!</p>
<p>You have solid scores and ECs. That being said though those schools are still reach as they are for everyone/anyone. NU is definitely better chance though.</p>
<p>The colleges will figure out your rank. Your ECs are going to make the schools other than NU difficult, especially as an ORM. If you’re at the top of your class and have any tip factors such as low income, first gen, underrepresented state-- who knows. But I hope these are just your reaches, if not, add schools.</p>
<p>You are the poster child for the candidate who will have to write a powerful un Asian application. With ECs being math/science and band, it’s key that your application show a fun, social aspect of you.</p>
<p>The problem is that you’re an average asian applicant.
You have NO respectable awards/positions for your math/science.
(USAMO/USABO/USAPhO/USNCO/Intel/Siemens/Etc.)</p>
<p>band is fun and social but ok
as of now I believe U have about 10% chance of being admitted on each of the schools (which means chances of not being accepted in any of these schools is bit less than 50%)
so things to do:</p>
<p>Write a fun, social essay (I dunno what else)
Win USAMO/USABO/USAPhO/USNCO/Intel/Siemens/Etc.</p>
<p>Very good advices. Anything else you guys detect that’s weak in my app?</p>
<p>That math does not apply here.
You do not stand out at any of the colleges.
If one college rejects you, WHY would the other college accept you?</p>
<p>This only applies when you are already EXTREMELY competitive in the applicant pool, and the only reason you will be rejected is because they don’t have enough room.</p>
<p>advanced lawlz, why such ignorance? yrret is in no way shape or form an “average asian applicant” (and if you actually think he his you clearly have never looked at piece data on the matter). You are clearly and egregiously underestimating this kid in every regard. his chances are as good as almost anybody’s save a few exceptions.</p>
<p>yrret…ignore advanced lawlz posts completely and go into the process knowing that you have great chances (but with the caveat that illogical things can happen).</p>
but ok
