Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Alright, you guys know you absolutely love doing these things</p>

<p>I am planning to apply to: NYU, Cornell, Tufts, USC, Cal Poly SLO, and all of the UC's, to satisfy my uberly asian mom, but I only care about UCB, UCLA, UCSD, UCI, and UCD</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0 unweighted, 4.2 or 4.3 or something weighted
SAT: 800 Math, 710 Writing, 610 Reading (2120 total)
SAT II: 800 Math 2C, 710 Physics (retaking physics in a week)
Classes:<br>
9th Grade: Geometry Enriched, Lit/Writing, Biology, Spanish 2, PE 9, Intro to Business (there were no possible honors classes for me to take)
10th Grade: Alg II/Trig, World History, World Lit, Spanish 3, PE 10 (fricking PE...), Law, Chemistry Honors
11th Grade: Pre-Calculus Honors, US History, Marketing, B/W Photography, Physics Honors, Contemp Lit, Stats AP
12th Grade: Japanese 1, Brit Lit, International Business, Gov/Econ, Calculus BC AP, Physics AP, Photography Workshop</p>

<p>Clubs: I have been a part of FBLA for 4 years. I competed at state and got 9th place in international business. I have been a part of peer tutorial for two years and tutor for about 6 hours per week. I have been in NHS for two years. I started a snowboarding club, but it is not officially recognized by the school because of liability issues. </p>

<p>I don't know if this counts as work experience as far as colleges go. But I have been running a tennis stringing business out of my garage since 6th grade. I post ads online and created business cards and the like. This takes up about 1-2 hours a day.</p>

<p>oh and I'm asian.... but I'm taiwanese so I could technically be pacific islander right?</p>

<p>Also, I went to the east coast and visited NYU, Cornell, Tufts, Brown, and Columbia. I absolutely hated Brown and Columbia, but I loved NYU, Cornell, and Tufts. Can you guys give me some other colleges that you think I might want to look into on the east coast? Thank you lots</p>

<p>Love,
Brandon</p>

<p>You are a match at every school on your list with the possible exception of Cornell, where you are a match to slight reach. (That SAT reading score hurts you there).</p>

<p>Based upon all your World Lit, Government, International Business background, you look like an excellent fit for Georgetown or George Washington. You'd like Yale and Princeton, but that reading score hurts you at both these schools, and I doubt you would be able to get in at either. </p>

<p>If you want to pursue a Math/Physics/Biology major, consider Vassar. They have a great Neuroscience program also. Your statistics match JHU, but you'd hate the school if you visited. </p>

<p>Another beautiful school with an excellent business program is University of Virginia. They are tough to get into from out-of-state, but you have the stats necessary to go there. A last school to check out is Colgate--which is one of the three most beautiful schools in the US (2nd in my opinion after Pepperdine in California). They have excellent programs in lots of stuff, including all of the things listed above. They are about one to one and a half hour's drive from Cornell, and not far from Vassar also.</p>

<p>Good luck with wherever you apply.</p>
