<p>If any background info helps - I'm a caucasian male from suburban Illinois from a middle-class family</p>
<p>My essays weren't extraordinary but they did provide insight into my love of learning and level of maturity. My recs were probably decent and my verbal score will hopefully be raised by my December 3rd SAT. There are several people in my school applying to MIT and CalTech if that inhibits my chances at all. If you could tell me what my chances are at the following schools I would appreciate it. Please tell me what my chances are EA and RA for the schools that I applied to EA.</p>
<p>Georgetown University (Walsh School of Foreign Service) - EA
MIT - EA
CalTech - EA
Stanford University - RA
Columbia University (Fu School of Engineering) - RA
Cornell University- RA</p>
<p>I am very grateful for anyone's input. Having written all that, I feel like I'm applying to your forum.</p>
<p>Talk about our desperate desire to free tibet from China, hoping our impotence will manifest itself in a manner similar to the guy in front of the tank at Tiananmen square</p>
<p>Just a suggestion for your club (BTW, your stats are great): Think of economic reasons why Tibet should be free. Unfortunately, the Chinese seem more than willing to vote with their pocketbook than many people think.</p>
<p>It's almost impossible to imagine why Tibet isn't an economic necessity to China. Although they're moving out of the agricultural based economy at a rapid rate, they still seem to latch onto Tibet for its land resources. At any rate, what we take issue at obviously are the brutal oppression of a people forced into second class status in their own homeland. The Tibetan language is being drowned out by the enormous waves of Chinese immigrants to the area. Political discourse and protest is brutally suppressed. The Tibetans are subjected to quick and random dislocations into the "motherland" china. It's hard to understand how the Chinese would simply give up their suppression of Tibet. No country would "buy" Tibet from the Chinese. Of course, I have no brilliant ideas for you as is evident by my protest to your idea. China believes it's advancing Tibet economically as, in their minds, progress is paramount to what we value in Tibet, religion and culture. I feel our hope is that with China's further economic expansion, it will open up political expansion and bring a certain degree of democracy to all of China, including Tibet. The President seems to believe their economic expansion will bring challenge to the autocratic government, let's just hope he's right, for once.</p>
<p>Fu is a match...they seem to be taking all 800 Math SAT students lately, regardless of everything else. Your EC's are lackluster at best; you have nothing demanding (varsity sports, debate, research)</p>
