2

<p>There's only 1 Ivy League.</p>

<p>What's the Kumon Reading National Rankings? Isn't Kumon a tutor place for kids?</p>

3

<p>u know what i mean haha. yea it is, but not necessarily kids. the higher levels are equivalent to AP classes, and getting ranked nationally is a huge feat among thousands of really intelligent kids</p>

4

<p>How the hell you got 7 publications I have no idea.</p>

<p>-Cornell: Strong match
-Penn: Match
-HYP: slight reach/weak match</p>

5

<p>Well your chances look very good. However the distribution of your leadership is skewed toward your later high school years.</p>

6

<p>yea i know, but thats usually how it is, isnt it? ur a dedicated member for the first 2 years and then once everyone knows who you are u make ur run</p>

7

<p>Yes, and you'll definitely get into one (if not most) of these schools.</p>

8

<p>you have a great chance, and hopefully you might get Yale,</p>

<p>and btw I am fluent in Farsi too :)</p>

9

<p>yea its amazing there are so many people that speak Farsi on CC but I've never met one locally (outside of my family)</p>

10

<p>Great SAT score. I don't understand why you want to retake the test again. It's amazing already!</p>

<p>Cornell : A
-Penn : UPenn? Slight reach/ Penn State: A for sure :D
-HYP: High reach</p>

11

<p>Cornell definitely.</p>

12

<p>Sandy!</p>

<p>How did you get 7 publications? I'm really curious. Been working for 2 years to get one...</p>

13

<p>Cornell, Brown, Penn--- match
Dartmouth, Columbia--slight reach
HYP---Reach</p>

14

<p>umm, you may have a chance in one of those schools. JK- you have a really good profile and I believe you have a really good chance getting into any of the colleges! Don't stress, you're going to an Ivy League school.</p>
