<p>I posted this on another forum, but I want to make sure I'll get some responses. Please add your input:</p>

<p>Can you also comment on my chances please?</p>

<p>I am currently a junior and am applying a year early (Harvey Mudd does not require a high school diploma).</p>

<p>Pakistani Male
Urban/Suburban Public High School in Corona, CA</p>

<p>UW GPA: 3.97
Weighted: 4.6
Class rank: 12 of 700</p>

<p>SAT I: 1550 (800 Math, 750 Verbal)
SAT II: 800 Math IIC, 800 Writing, 770 Chemistry</p>

<p>APs: European History last year; US History, English Language, Calculus BC, and Physics C: Mechanics this year</p>

<ul>
<li>Done scientific research in botany at a university, won some awards at district and regional science fairs.</li>
<li>Student newspaper, one and a half years, I have been promoted to copy editor of the paper.</li>
<li>Tutoring, especially in math, done both at my high school and at the city public library.</li>
<li>Participated on the varsity mock trial team for all three years of high school, and have been nominated for some awards.</li>
<li>Played classical piano for five years.</li>
</ul>

<p>My math teacher wrote me a really strong recommendation (said I was among her top students in 30+ years of teaching). I didn't read my history teacher's recommendation, but she said it was a good one.</p>

<p>I submitted essays regarding my personal relationship with my disabled grandfather, and a moral dilemma I had regarding a story I wanted to write in my journalism class.</p>

<p>My main concern is that since I'm a junior, Harvey Mudd will reject me.</p>

<p>How much of a chance is there that I will get rejected?</p>

<p>Harvey Mudd isn't that hard to get in, three kids from my school all got in early, which is weird because its such a small class at HM</p>

<p>You should need the scores, and you definetely have those</p>

<p>So I'd say in</p>

<p>i think you're in too, but why are you going to college a year early? what are the advantages, etc?</p>

<p>There are quite a few reasons, actually. First of all, I feel I've outgrown high school courses, and that I'm ready for the demands of college. More importantly, however, I just feel the college atmosphere is better for me, because I don't seem to fit in very well with my high school peers. I spent one day at Harvey Mudd and I felt like I fit in more than I ever did in high school.</p>
