Chances at a couple of top colleges (updated)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>This is my same thread, with different scores.</p>

<p>I want to know my chances at Stanford, Cornell, and Princeton.</p>

<p>GPA: 9-11th: 3.73 <a href="Cornell%20will%20use%20this%20one">4.0 4.0 3.8 3.4 3.2 4.0</a>
GPA: 10-11th: 3.6 <a href="Stanford%20will%20use%20this%20one">3.8 3.4 3.2 4.0</a>
Rank: 49/526 (Top 10%)
*and I have a (very good) explanation for the dip in my grades for the more selective schools on my list, a legitimate 'extenuating circumstance'</p>

<p>SAT I Composite: 770 CR 780 M 750 W (1550 M+V, 2300 total)
SAT I (single sittings):
770 CR 720 M 710 W (2200),
640 CR 780 M 750 W (2170)
SAT II: Yet to take, probably 700+
AP: Probably two 5s and a 4 or 3</p>

<p>Hook(s): I live in Arkansas and I'm African American.</p>

<p>ECs/Awards: (My ECs are nothing special, but I have a lot of awards)</p>

<p>Debate (2nd in state, 4 years)
ROTC (4 years)
^(These two are by far the biggest and most important)
Student Congress (2 years)
UAMS/School Tournament Volunteer
Cornell University Summer College, 2 yrs
Marquette University Debate Institute
Piano (Hella long time, but I play as a hobby, not in competition)
NHS (But let's face it, everyone's in this--this goes last on my list if there's room on the app)</p>

<p>Well...let's just say you have a great shot at all of your schools. Granted the GPA might be a little low, but if you claim to have a good reason, then you should be fine. Your SATs are amazing (though it's peculiar that your CR score went from 770 to 640...what happened there?). All of that combined with your URM status make you a very well qualified applicant.</p>

<p>2300?</p>

<p>Wow! You almost remind me of this guy: <a href="http://www.ivyleaguesports.com/article.asp?intID=3960%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.ivyleaguesports.com/article.asp?intID=3960&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Great work on keeping on top of the college process for so long!</p>

<p>You're in everywhere. Highly intelligent + URM will get you far. You'd have good chances anywhere no matter the race.</p>

<p>Keep it up.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>And I dipped in CR cause I managed my time poorly on the second CR section.</p>

<p>I've gotten my AP scores:</p>

<p>World History (last year): Let's not talk about that one.
US History: 4
APLAC: 5
Calculus: 4 (which is really embarrassing--the test was a joke :()</p>
