Chances at Tepper - Regular Decision

<p>I was just wondering what my chances are at getting into Tepper Business School as a regular decision international applicant. Here are my stats..</p>

<p>SAT I - 1320 (Math: 700, Verbal: 620)</p>

<p>SAT II - Math IIC: 660, Physics: 730, Writing: 570</p>

<p>My extracurriculars include sports teams, community service projects and other events such as rock concerts and performance art productions..</p>

<p>Also, I am from Fiji.. I heard it helps if you are from a Pacific Island country?</p>

<p>Haven't you already applied? I mean what is the point of posting your stats after turning in the application when 1. nobody can exactly predict your chance, 2. you can't do anything at this point? Stop posting chances thread and just wait.</p>

<p>Yeah, I was wondering what my chances at Tepper are...</p>

<p>SAT I - 1340 (Math: 760, Verbal: 580)
SAT II: Math IC: 650, U.S. History: 510, Writing: 670</p>

<p>Grades: I've taken all honors and AP courses since 9th grade. Grades are good for the most part (however, I did get C's in Geometry 9th grade, Algebra 2 10th grade, and Chemistry 10th grade)...Freshman year - 3.7, Sophomore Year - 3.2, Junior Year - 3.4, Senior Year - 3.8</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: Officer in two clubs (NHS and Student Council), Sax/Piano/Clarinet player, involved in Show Orchestra/Chamber Orchestra/Symphonic Band/Stage Band/Marching Band, tutor for younger children, lots of community service, and good application essays...</p>

<p>Well here are Tepper numbers from last year: 400 accepted, 1346 applied, 29.7% acceptance rate. V640, M720 avg., 3.6gpa.</p>

<p>Just curious, you got C's in geometry and algebra 2 but 760 math? That would make me wonder why you didn't do better in those courses.</p>

<p>class rank was 2. we don't have gpa unfortunately.</p>

<p>i also did 6 IB subjects - physics:6, chemistry:6, math:5, geography:6, japanese:4, english:5</p>

<p>Well, I had to work really hard to get that 760 on the math portion of the SAT. </p>

<p>This is not to say that I never studied for Geometry and Algebra II. I studied hard, but it just took me longer to grasp the concepts. The SAT doesn't contain any Algebra II, and the Geometry that is on the SAT is simplified. In Geometry at my school, you mainly study proofs and theorems, which aren't on the SAT.</p>

<p>I applied to Tepper too and i think we all seem to have pretty similar stats...</p>

<p>SAT: 1360 V:670 M:690
SATIIs: M1C:710 US: 630 W:610
GPA: 95.333 unweighted
Rank: 8/160
AP: 4 US History 3 Lit&Comp
(Calc AB, Economics, and Lang&Comp this year)</p>

<p>All honors classes, honor roll, officer in 3 clubs (FBLA, NHS, Class Office), Captain of Golf and Volleyball, All-star in both sports, Volleyball MVP, and a load of other EC's.</p>

<p>I also applied to Tepper.</p>

<p>GPA: ~3.4
SAT I: 1480
SAT II: 800 Math, 770 Physics, 720 Writing</p>

<p>I hope we all get in! IM me if you want to chat (aim: dimitr11).</p>

<p>Also applied
GPA: 3.884

<p>EC's: Top 15 tennis player in new jersey. Captain/1st singles of the varsity tennis team. FBLA- international business competitor, national honor society, vp of chinese honor society</p>

<p>Recs: Great recs - tennis coach, precalc honors teacher, and.......David Tepper. I'm really good friends with his son who is one of my classmates. Curiously enough I don't think David's son is going to carnegie mellon.......lol.</p>

<p>LOL. Yeah, when you have a letter of reccomendation from the guy who's name is on the side of the building....you can be pretty sure you're in.</p>

<p>lol maybe the rec he wrote was really bad and they didn't like my grades or something. you never kno....</p>

<p>That's possible, but not very likely IMO.</p>

<p>Where else are you applying? Also, where does David Tepper's son want to go to school?</p>

<p>i applied to umich (got in), nyu stern (tennis recruit), unc, washu, lehigh, syracuse, gw, rutgers (got in). I don't know exactly where David Tepper's son (name starts with a B i don't want to say his name lol) wants to go exactly, i believe he mentioned syracuse. He applied to cmu but im not sure if he actually wants to go.</p>

<p>Cool.</p>

<p>How much do you want to go to CMU? Would you choose it over UMich or NYU Stern?</p>

<p>I applied to BU, Brandeis, Cornell, Dartmouth, MIT, McGill, Tufts, UMass.</p>

<p>I applied too...mostly similar stats:</p>

<p>SAT V: 690 M:720
SATIIs: M2C:690 US: 660 W:660 Spanish: 660
Rank in top 20%</p>

<p>nsdlevin, right now my college preference is as follows: NYU, UNC, UMICH, CMU/Washu</p>

<p>Anyways, good luck. Sounds like you have a good chance. </p>
