<p>Chances at Harvard and Princeton?</p>

2

<p>bumppppppp</p>

3

<p>You have great chances! Good luck!</p>

4

<p>Thanks. any other?</p>

5

<p>Your application isn't at all outstanding. Im sorry but I don't think your chances are very good at all.</p>

6

<p>you have a great shot.</p>

7

<p>you have a lot of activities listed in which you participated outside the school -- but somehow i dont get a sense on what exactly you focused -- if i was on admissions committee, i'd pick people who demonstrated a few good established passions rather than a collection of various things they did -- if you have a very broad list, i'd get a sense that you did all this just to get into Harvard or Princeton, and not because you had genuine interest</p>

8

<p>30% chance at both.</p>

9

<p>If amptron's % is correct, which it probably isn't :), you have a 51% chance of getting into at least one of them.</p>

10

<p>Princeton and Harvard... I don't think so. Your EC's are too wishy-washy and half your enumerated awards don't count for anything.</p>

11

<p>You have a great chance, but you can still never know how your result may end up. Realize that at least 7000 applicants to Harvard match your stats, and maybe 5000 have stellar extracurricular activities. They only have 1500 seats, so sometimes it is a draw of a card.</p>

12

<p>your international status hurts you immensely.</p>

13

<p>you have as good a shot as anyone</p>

14

<p>I think your AMC and AIME scores are outstanding, as well as being captain of a varsity sport. Ivy league schools like athletes.</p>

<p>Your stats are spectacular, except you don't have a 4.0 UW, which is very common for Harvard/Princeton.</p>

<p>I'd say that they're both 20-30% shots.</p>

15

<p>Why are you asking us? You will know in a few days. :)</p>

16

<p>Hpanda,
you go to WJHS?</p>

17

<p>Very nice chances.</p>

18

<p>Youre Asian which puts you at a disadvantage. Id say your chances are 50/50.</p>

19

<p>6% chance of getting into at least one.</p>

20

<p>I don't really see how you got rejected from MIT...800 math SAT, 3 800s in science/math-based SAT IIs, 8th AIME in Maryland...don't get it</p>
