<p>It's kinda obvious that I want to become a lawyer when I grow up.</p>

<p>geez........you're about as qualified as any applicant I've ever seen.......Highly competitive for HYP...and basically matches for the rest of the ivies...wow nice job..good luck w/ everything...obviously i'm not an admisions officer so my advice is limited...but i dont see any weakpoints for you as an applicant...make the essays unique and you'll go to an excellent institution next year</p>

<p>Thanks... I forgot to add </p>

<p>I got all As/1s on a State Level Solo Competition ever since 8th Grade.
Also the term "webmaster" just means that I supervised committee that created the website. As you can see, I didn't have much time to work on a website. =]</p>

<p>Respond To My Post!</p>

<p>Congratulations. You're gettting in to every school that you want to get into. good luck at harvard.</p>

<p>i think youll have a great shot at dartmouth, un of pennsylvania, brown, and nearly all of the rest!</p>

<p>what high school do you go to? i have like practically the exact same schedule as you..and mcyo too.And all your stats are brilliant, so I think you have a great chance anywhere</p>

<p>why?????
why ask for your chances at ivies when you know you have extremely high chances. you have a freakin 2380-just some points away from being a prefect score</p>

<p>^^</p>

<p>Haha, extremely high chances is a relative term.</p>

<p>Remember that as another poster said, your stats match those accepted, but they also match a lot of those rejected.</p>

<p>You have amazing stats (AP scores, SAT scores, GPA), all stellar. But the best advice I've seen on this forum is at the point at which you have the perfect stats to get in, actually getting in will depend on how interesting/passionate you come across as in your essay. Besides that you are an amazing applicant, and I'll bet you'd get into at the very least 3 ivies.</p>

<p>you'll get into ivies but little chance at the top ones. and if i were you, i wouldnt include your korean sat ii score. you're korean. they expect you to know korean.</p>

<p>Asian from Maryland. That puts you in the middle of the pack of 100's of other east coast Asians. You'll have to be lucky to catch HYP, but the other Ivies are probably matches.</p>

<p>Apply early to Princeton and you'll get in without question. Princeton accepts 32% of all ED candidates. </p>

<p>Otherwise, you're in a crapshoot, unfortunately. I know a lot of people that read for Harvard, and, at least at Harvard, there is a certain threshold for academic achievement that one must meet, but, after that, everything comes down to the essay, and whether the person seems genuine and sure of who he/she is.</p>

<p>I don't think the OP can just not send a SAT score...</p>

<p>to the OP: wow great job! now it all comes down to essays/recs</p>

<p>With your stats, I would imagine that you KNOW you're qualified. However, if you need ego-boosting, I am here to say that yes you have a very high chance of getting into top schools.</p>

<p>Make sure you write good essays though.</p>

<p>Very nice, but for one thing: I'm confused on how you have already gotten so many scores on your AP tests when we don't take them for another 3 weeks =P</p>

<p>I'd say apply to Harvard Early...Im saying this because your leaning towards law and Harvard satifies many of their pre-law students.</p>

<p>And by the way: Being Asian is NOT GOING TO HELP YOU.
It's unfair, I know.
But like I said: Tell Harvard you want law and make sure they understand that you still "haven't reached your potential"....HARVARD it is?</p>

<p>Good shot at any school on this planet. Still remember how unpredictable college appliacations are. :(
Some schools might reject you just for being overqualified.</p>
