<p>Fantastic...another Asian with good SATs, good GPA, and (gasp!....a variety of ECs!)</p>
<p>Dude...you're qualified like bja stated... Can't guarantee anything but to answer your question: yes you have a chance. Percentage-wise, I don't know. Anyway, looks like you're new to this board. Asians with similar stats post all the time.</p>
<p>if youre applying to UPenn ED not wharton, i think you have a great chance. You also have a great chance at duke and dartmouth. stanford and yale will be more of a reach</p>
<p>first of all, wharton is upenn. it is tougher to get into than the other three undergrad schools (sas, seas, and nursing) because of the number of applicants. that said, i think you have a wonderful shot ed. your stats and ecs are all there. focus on your essays because they are really important at penn. good luck and i hope i see you in philly!</p>
<p>PM me if you have any questions about Penn.</p>
<p>Yes, I think Ohio State would be a nice college for me. They offer full scholarships to national merit finalists, and if I don't get into my other schools I'm planning on taking their 7 year medicine program.</p>
<p>Your stats are pretty pimped out. I wouldn't be too concerned. You will apply to great schools. You will get rejected from most of them (just because of numbers, not because of anything you did). You will get into one or two schools that excite you, and then you'll go there and flourish. None of us here can say which school that will be, but you are numerically qualified for a top school.</p>
<p>agreeing with k-theory here. decent, but nothing spectacular. your main thing is the SAT I. your ECs, apart from the 300 hours, do not shine. you absolutely do NOT need to have 8 subject tests. the schools will place 99% on the three TOP scores. the others, if they are all 750+, will help you. but if not, they won't matter much at all and can actually hurt if say, it's below 650. so do NOT spend your senior year taking subject tests and studying for them.</p>
<p>and i agree with nash. you will be rejected from most of the ivy level schools. but you will get into one or two.</p>
<p>I'm not sure how impressed colleges would be with your MTV thing. Could you elaborate some more on that?</p>
<p>As to your tennis thing, maybe this is different at your school, but at most schools tennis is not a hard varsity team to make, and simply being on the team without other honors/awards won't be too impressive.</p>
<p>Well our show choir this year was selected among a handful of other show choirs around the country to be featured in a 8-episode show on MTV. They've already done the pilot and it got accepted by the Network and it should show on MTV circa fall 2007?</p>
<p>Our choirs are very prestigious as a whole. Our chamber was invited to perform at Carnegie Hall this spring, without us having to audition.</p>
