Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>GPA 3.9
SAT 2300
SAT IIs: 790 US history, figuring out my next one.
Class rank: a little low as Ive taken 5 more AP's then everybody above me and strapped of study time:10 or so out of 50
LOREC: good, one from English teacher about personality and one from headmaster/APecon about intellectually curiosity
Star Student</p>

<p>Have many clubs and things, but it is very tedious to right and almost irrelevant as they are so very mainstream now. 5 or so clubs </p>

<p>Started 2 charity's, one of which has grown Into a multi-state manged, global organization and another one that I started alone to attack and fight against human trafficking. Both are very successful and I will have cool essays because of this. </p>

<p>I've had multiple divison 1 athletic offers for soccer, non yet from ivy but a few from schools ranked higher that Ivy League teams.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure I will be a finalist for the spirit of community nation award (knock on wood). Who knows though. </p>

<p>Leaders of the business world summer program by UPenn/ Wharton ( planning on attending )</p>

<p>Internship with a gas jobbership firm, internship with a business management firm, and internship with a business tycoon with 350m+ assets under management </p>

<p>City wide leadership council, chosen by counsellors to compete for a stop in the council</p>

<p>Over 300+ volunteer hours, will be around 500 by the time I graduate (outside my charity events, I have not and will not count them) </p>

<p>I can get college recs from graduates from columbia, UChicago, and UPenn if needed. (Don't know how well they will hold up though, do colleges like seeing alumni recommendations?) </p>

<p>As for interviews (if I even get one), I feel my vibrant personality will serve me well in striking up though provoking conversations while keeping the mood elegant and light. </p>

<p>Thank you all who read, and even more thanks to those who chanced me. Have a good day, and good luck to you on your endeveors. </p>

<p>I think you’re a competitive applicant, but these schools are so selective and have enough incredible applicants to fill 5 graduating classes, so I don’t know what your outcome will ultimately be. I do believe that you would be a good candidate at one of these, and would definitely do well if accepted.
Just for future reference, prep for the interview as well. I’m sure you’re a lovely person, and very qualified, clearly, but personally, my first interview did not go to my liking completely because I was so nervous. Once I kind of made an outline of how to phrase certain accomplishments to make them relevant to the conversation I was having, my personality came through, so I would definitely recommend going in with a soft plan.
About the letters- I actually had a really prominent scientist write one of my rec letters for me with the same idea in mind, and he was as qualified as people can be, but I don’t think he could completely gauge my personality from one summer internship. Substance always trumps title, and while it’s impressive to know alums of such great schools who are willing to write you a rec letter, you always want someone who can portray your essence to a college admissions office.
On another note, your charity work sounds so cool. How exactly does your charity combat human trafficking?</p>

<p>we try to develop basics awareness in and around Georgia about human trafficking. It’s amazing how prevalent it is even in the most developed civilizations. Also, we fund a few orphanages that take girls OUT of the grasps of poverty and off the streets and shelter, and more importantly protect, them from the horrors. People in countries like my native India, Afghanista, and China abduct girls from the streets and sell them off like they’re some sort of cattle. Sickens me. Currently we have started fundings of 2 charities in India while working on developing infrastructure and connections in Afghanistan. It’s quite difficult due to the terrorist organizations financial capabilities to bribe people into trafficking. In the states, I currently pass out flyers at areas with high kidnapping percentages to bring awareness and provide safety measures to help lower it. In the end no amount of finance will completely eradicate it, it is up to the people to join together change the culture (I also have some controversial views on this, but I’ll leave those out for now). I can go more into details of a story or to.I’ve heard if you’d like. It’s really heart breaking. </p>

<p>I honestly believe you can get accepted into stern (a friend just got accepted last week, less impressive grades, but a shit load of sports). My father is the Head of the Admissions for Stern for Middle East Applicants, he says “If you are going to pay full tuition, we will accept you with a fucking 1800”. Take that into consideration.</p>

<p>Yes I’ve heard that around where I live, a lot. The same has been said for out of state students looking for acceptance into Californian schools. </p>

<p>Universities are desperate for cash… if you cough it up… you can go to harvard</p>
