chances at ivys and mit

<p>b u m p</p>

<p>Bummmmmmmmmmmp</p>

<p>I would say that those are all very far reaches. Calc BC is standard for juniors at alot of schools, and the students above average take in as sophomores.</p>

<p>If you wanted to go to their school and play a golf, a representative from their athletic office would of been banging on your door to play for them late freshmen year or early sophomore year at the latest.</p>

<p>Those schools you listed are looking for well rounded students. Which means more EC's in different areas and maybe a sport or too.</p>

<p>Also 200 hours or more is a good amount of time for community service to those schools.</p>

<p>Bump Er Sticker</p>

<p>Yale -EA-40% chance
Harvard-10% chance
Princeton-25% chance
MIT-50% chance
Cornell-80% chance
Johns Hopkins-65% chance</p>

<p>if neelesh is right I will be VERY HAPPY!</p>

<p>u go to stuy?</p>

<p>Nope, I go to a queens school.
and I got deferred from Yale EA for anyone who wants to know.</p>

<p>what race are you?</p>

<p>Basically HYP = no. MIT, maybe. Cornell, JHU = Yes.</p>

<p>mmmmmmmmm.....have u done any research papers or anything sciency that is interesting? i mean whats your hook...so many people are maths wizs'...specially if u take into account all the asian and russian applicants i think compared to them you would be like the "avarage" math student..so if u have like a bunch of hooks (or at least one) then you MAYBE would have a chance, other then that apply to U of T at Austin or something , with colleges you never know how things end up...</p>

<p>Your stats are good, except your GPA might be a bit low, but your extracurriculars are severely lacking. Also, taking BC Calc as a junior isn't that impressive, so I'm really glad you kick butt at the AIME otherwise your claim to be good at math wasn't all that backed up ;) Compared to most HYP applicants, I'd say you're a long shot, but you never really know, admissions are always unpredictable there. But I'd definitely add a safety school or two, unless you're counting Cornell/JH as your safety.</p>

<p>Also, just apply to more schools anyway. It's not like they can stop you, can they?</p>

<p>I'm sorry to say that they can. My counselor will not send anymore transcripts out to other schools then to the schools that I already applied to and I guess it doesnt matter anymore. I'll just hope for the best.</p>

<p>I don't usually post my opinions. I'm only here to see what people think my chances for Dartmouth are, but you seem desperate, so here we go:</p>

<p>Yale -EA -- REACH
Harvard -- REACH
Princeton --REACH
MIT --REACH
Cornell --50/50
Johns Hopkins -- FAIR</p>

<p>I know you've read this dozens of times, but Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and MIT are going to be reaches for everyone. You never know with those schools. Someone with a 1420, [700,680,730], and 3.9 GPA might be accepted over you. </p>

<p>The advantage of being an Ivy League school is not simply being able to accept the best scorers. Per contra, it's being able to accept whoever you need. When these schools say that they want to balance out their incoming freshman class, they mean it. Maybe they don't need another Bio-med student, or maybe they certainly need someone with math scores such as yours. You never know until that letter comes.</p>

<p>I'd say that you're statistically strong, yet weak in the ECs. You're qualified, as far as I'm concerned, but that's not usually enough to get you in.</p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>
