<p>P.S
I'm confident that my teacher recommendations are stellar.
one from my calc teacher, one from golf coach, and one from my chinese teacher.</p>
<p>Stellar academics. EC’s are sorely lacking. HPYS are all high reaches. Columbia is a reach. Brown and Penn are low reaches. </p>
<p>is there anything else i should do for my ec? ive been told its been lacking. what would you recommend? more volunteer? math comps? golf tournaments?</p>
<p>Besides for GPA, you look like a perfect applicant (literally all perfect scores). I would have to disagree with the above - your EC’s look few but focused. USAMO and USACO should set you apart. I also assume that you have other math-related awards, seeing as you have made USAMO (correct me if I’m wrong). Overall, though all of the schools are reaches, you certainly have a solid chance over other applicants; just write stellar essays.</p>
<p>thank you. and i do have other math-related awards though i didnt feet they were as strong, i participated in hmmt (harvard mit mathematics tourn.) and arml but never won/ranked indivudally in any. should i still include them?</p>
<p>100 % big zero chances. Being Asian ,if you are Indian male,for get it. My son has the same stats,with usamo,AIME ,also 400 hours volunteer ( no kidding)., class 1 /850 in a public school.High leadership skills President, vice presisdent,also working as coach.</p>
<p>screwd,just ended in state college. I strongly say no chance if you are academically strong it wont help you at all.</p>
<p>MUSICCHAMP14, are you sure? it seems quite strange to me. ive seen indian/chinese males who have similar credentials to me end up at great schools like UCL, berkley, cmu, etc. does everyone agree with musicchamp?</p>
<p>I think you’re fine for schools like Berkeley and CMU if that’s what you’re after. I don’t know about HYPS, though–you come off as intelligent but a little bland, and your GPA will hurt you. If you’re bent on getting into one of these schools, I think you could try ED’ing to Penn and see what happens. </p>
<p>Good luck! </p>
<p>Coriander23, what do you think i should do to spice up my resume? or what do you think its lacking in general?</p>
<p>These are all reaches, but Penn + Brown are lower. Consider adding MIT/Caltech/UChicago on your list. They have phenomenal math programs. </p>
<p>also curious as to why you’re not considering mit. USAMO or USAJMO qualifiers have a 50-60% chance of getting in (not including moppers), and you have other ec’s and accomplishments. Compared to the ivy leagues, I htink you’d have a better chance at MIT becuase they value mathematics more. </p>
<p>overall, do you think i should add anything to my resume?</p>
<p>What do you plan on majoring in?</p>
<p>Well there is always room for improvement, but I am greatly impressed with some of the things you’ve accomplished. However, even though these are very focused achievements and should not be looked down upon, I feel like that they could be much much deeper. Without MOSP, SuMAC, or some comparable program to show how deep you really are into math/comp sci. That what I feel personally, so HYPSM is a high reach. That does not mean that you will not get in though!</p>
<p>Have you contacted golf coaches from the colleges? With your grades that is the thing that can push you over the line. More volunteer work really won’t help. Your math awards or a Siemens or Intel finalist might do it to but it might not. You really have to look at it from the college admissions officer point of view - what will you add to the college that some other candidate can’t. Of course the golf coach is only going to care how good your game is and that you meet some minimum academic criteria (2100 SAT’s). If you are trying to get in purely on your academic record then you should be looking at top State schools like Berkley, UCLA, UMichigan as a likely outcome and the HYP’s as a 5/100th chance. Without a hook (or two) you should go for it but don’t expect it!</p>
<p>Are these predictions or estimations? Because I don’t believe these are your scores for one second. Would you get accepted if these were true? Maybe as part of the pool to increase the college profile. But aside from stellar grades, you don’t seem like you have something to offer to a college campus, no offense. Colleges look for students that will create a diverse student body, will contribute to academic discussion, and participate in extracurricular activities. If I’m an admissions counselor at an ivy and I see this, unless you write a Pulitzer worthy essay, I just think that you are another kid who will spend more time with their nose in a textbook instead of participating in campus activities and I wouldn’t admit you. </p>
<p>where should i apply ed/ea/scea?</p>
<p>Harvard rea. some stat on this stat (another source) showed that it’s early acceptance rate is 21.6%.</p>
