<p>Hey guys, what's up?</p>
<p>For my apps, I'd like some advice. I have applied to Penn SEAS ED, U of C EA, and Northeastern EA (safety). Since it's very possible that Penn rejects me, I'm thinking about the rest of my schools. I'm being hella aggressive, and I'm just wondering what suggestions you guys have, and what you think my chances might be. </p>
<p>Here are some of my stats
US citizen, Texas resident, but currently living in Morocco (American school). Been here since 9th grade, living on my own, in a hotel. </p>
<p>I do full IB now, with PCM + Econ HL, English SL, and French Ab initio. We had no advanced courses before 11th grade.
We don't do GPA, working on a 1-7 scale for trimester grades. Equivalent GPAs are:
9th grade: ~3.7
10th grade: ~3.7
11th grade: 4.0 UW, 4.6 W (assume +1 for HL, +0.5 for English SL, and unweighted for ToK and French)
12th (projected first trimester): Same as 11th</p>
<p>We don't do class rank, but in my counselor rec, she said she'll bring up how I'm basically one of the top students in the grade. </p>
<p>My SAT is 2240 superscored, (750 CR, 780 M, 710 W)
Highest sitting is 2200 (740 M)</p>
<p>SAT II: 730 Math IIC, 760 Chem, 800 Physics</p>
<p>ECs are:
Tech club founder and leader (12)
Debate club cofounder and copresident (11-12)
Chess club cofounder and copresident (11-12)
Tech/General Management consultant for IBA LLC. (9-12)
Amis Des Ecoles member (11-12)
NHS member (12, just opened the chapter)</p>
<p>Broad interests, though I really like STEM and Bus/Econ. I'm a bit of a nerd. I read Wikipedia articles/drool over university course lists in my free time. I'd like to think of myself as a good speaker. I prefer a more intimate environment where I can talk to my professors and not be in too many classes of 600+ students. Though I still like the opportunities and resources of a large school.</p>
<p>According to my college counselor, my two recs (Physics 10-12 teacher and Econ 11/ToK 12 teacher) were strong. Physics rec probably had some mention of my EE in quantum physics.</p>
<p>Counselor rec is probably strong, since I had her as a teacher before, and she knows me well. </p>
<p>My college list is currently as follows, not necessarily in descending order:
Penn SEAS ED (applied, had a good interview)
UChicago EA (applied)
NEU EA (safety, applied)
Stanford
MIT
Princeton
Harvard
Yale
Swarthmore
One of the Claremont schools, maybe Harvey Mudd
Rice
Duke
CMU
St. Louis
UNC
UT (maybe...)</p>
<p>Could you chance me and help me narrow the list down? What suggestions do you guys have to revise the list?
Also, if NEU doesn't take me, I'll apply to another safety. What would be a good one for me? If there are other colleges I should consider, please tell me. </p>
<p>Thank you all</p>
