<p>Extracirricular: i have this one passion and it was starting the AMC club at my public school. I have been the president wit my friend and we have tried to send someone to USAMO which is a tremendous accomplishment for public school. </p>

<p>I also really enjoy playing violin and piano. My piano skills are probably a level below professional recording but good nonetheless. </p>

<p>VOlunteer at hospital because i wanna major in medicine. Started foundation to advocate bone marrow transplants. </p>

<p>Might do INtel and Siemens later on. </p>

<p>I am right now about to enter into 12th grade.</p>

<p>I want to know my chances because would colleges view me as stereotypical and too pe rfect. My passion is in being the best i can be. Thanks for any input.</p>

<p>very, very, very strong GPA, courseload and test scores. very impressive. EC's aren't as impressive as the rest of your stats, but they're still good. elaborate more on them, definitely talk about starting a foundation and club a lot. stanford is a crapshoot, so nothing is guarenteed, but you've definitely got a shot.</p>

<p>Well, let's see you got all As and A+s except for one A- to go with your 17 AP classes (perfect 5s on all of them) and your perfect SAT Is, and perfect SAT IIs on three tests. You've already taken two college courses (with As), and you had a perfect scores on the AMC and AIME in your junior year. You play piano practically at a professional recording level and you were president of the AMC club, which you started, at your high school.</p>

<p>So what exactly are you expecting us to say here? </p>

<p>You will be admitted to the honors section at any school you apply to, will likely qualify for merit-based scholarships at most, if not all, schools. And presuming your essay doesn't suck--and I have no reason to believe it will--you can choose from among all of the Ivy league schools, Caltech, MIT, Duke, Stanford, UC Berkeley, John Hopkins, Georgetown, Amherst, Williams, Swarthmore, and Franklin Olin. </p>

<p>Stanford is a great school--and my son went to the high school prom with a lady who is now going there. In a conversation I had with this lady last week, she indicated that there are four kinds of people who go there--super smart, unusually gifted in a particular field (this includes not just professional or musical, but also athletic), "friends" of the college, and disadvantaged kids who need a chance to excel. You definitely fall into the first category above, so I don't see any problem if that's where you want to go.</p>

<p>Best of success to you.</p>

<p>yeah, the same guy says he got a 145 on AMC 12. </p>

<p>btw, you can't get a 145 on AMC 12</p>

5

<p>The OP . . . reporting a score on a test that it's impossible to get? For shame.</p>

6

<p>Of course you'll get in.</p>

<p>And yea, I don't know if this is real or not, but I agree that it just reaffirms my "mediocre" existance.</p>

<p>Misha</p>

<p>This is quite bull****.</p>

<p>A person with those kinds of grammatical errors can't get 800 in SAT writing!</p>

<p>I don't see Thomas Jones anywhere.</p>

8

<p>rejected.</p>

<p>ECs are terrible, no offense</p>

9

<p>If this isn't a joke then my self-esteem has been ravaged. <em>eats tissue box</em> (I am thinking about Stanford)</p>

<p>But I'm happy for you, if it isn't a joke. I agree with Calcruzer and bluetissues. You've got a great shot at Stanford, but of course nothing is for sure with these top colleges.</p>

10

<p>***. I just noticed, 4 of my classmates in my calc class are on that perfect score list. Maybe I should take this test seriously since it is so cool to have my picture on some cheap-looking website.</p>

<p>To the OP, I hate you and if you are not lying as I think you are, </p>

<p>Stanford - match</p>

<p>Also aren't you a sophomore? Your last thread said chances for a mediocre sophomore. You are quite arrogant to assume those scores on the SAT and all those APs if youare a sophomre. .</p>

11

<p>i think these indiscrepancies point to the OP being a troll...</p>

12

<p>i hate trolls</p>

13

<p>lol what would qualify as a stronger ec. I thought usamo would be considered an ec. siemens and intel i dont cink i can get to regional finalists and even semifinalists is hard. </p>

<p>and there is nothing that great about me. ANyone who can just study can do well on standardized tests. What is the number of ap tests that won the Siemens AP award? ANd i am not that smart. I did miserably on usamo. Just a good standardized test taker. Just wondering if colleges would see thru this.</p>

14

<p>i knew in my gut this person didn't exist.</p>

<p>i really don't like trolls.</p>

<p>this isn't a funny joke, thomasjones. </p>

<p>you have serious problems</p>

15

<p>Hmm... well, for such a person to exist, it is indeed possible. Although it does seem beastly, such scores and APs could happen if a high schooler was willing to put forth the effort. However, most high schoolers do not have the discipline to work on homework 2-3 hours a day, myself included.</p>

<p>I am quite sure you are a sophomore according to previous posts. I doubt you will get a 2400 or so lucky on the AMC next time. I shall brush up on my trigonometry and then take that AMC seriously. You shall see my picture on that perfect score list you claimed you were on.</p>

16

<p>lol fine i am a sophmore but i am pretty sure i can accomplish what i just listed.</p>

<p>for aime should i get aops vol 1 and 2 i can never get questions 11-15</p>

17

<p>Hmmm. Maybe if you are very disciplined, but few can resist the allure of adult videos and online gaming. I had the hardest time focusing in my junior year. I would waste time downloading videos and playing warcraft and mmorpgs. Took so much time each day that I could not do much homework. Be extremely disciplined if you want to get those scores.</p>

<p>Try playing dota on warcraft. You will waste hours upon hours.</p>

18

<p>It's very hard to do Intel/Siemens "later on" if you're about to enter 12th grade.</p>

<p>AoPS is very good for AMC-related studying; however, if you want to qualify for USAMO it is usually recommended that you take the AIME.</p>

<p>If you can get questions 1-10, you'd be in pretty good shape to qualify for USAMO. I barely qualified this year by getting 117 on the AMC and the first 10 questions on the AIME, thanks in large part to the expansion thingy.</p>

<p>If you can get scores that are kinda close to what you predicted, then you could probably get into Stanford.</p>
