<p>SATII's:
Math2: 750

<p>Latino/Male--California</p>
<p>Been Accepted to (so far):
1) Rose-Hulman
2) Harvey Mudd College(Much <3)</p>
<p>Got interviews with Mudd, Carnegie, Princeton, and Harvard (all went well tremendously).</p>
<p>My SAT's may be mediocre for the colleges selected (maybe with the exception of Rose-Hulman), but I have other strengths.
*All of my letters of rec are comming from COLLEGE PROFS. Not, HS teachers.
*I've taken Calculus as a tenth grader at a JC. Got the highest grade in both classes; taken 3 semesters of single variable (all A's), Linear Algebra, Diff Eqs, and Vector calculus (all at college level and all A's and B's) as an 11th grader @ Mudd as a special student.
*Taken/Taking Quantum Mechanics and Special Relativity as a 12th grader at Mudd again as a special student (so far, I got a B in the Spec. Rel./Quantum Mech. class).
*I've taken the highest English classes available to me (college honours American and English Lit). I've taken a year of Latin, classical greek, and spanish (1 semester of spanish, actually at a community College).
*I've shown my horse competitively at the local shows (won year end high point for both english and western) and have team roped off of other horses.
*I've been on the dean's list 3 times at the JC.
*I'm HOMESCHOOLED which is why I have so many JC classes (because I used those to supplement almost all of my classes at home). I am considered a frosh because all of the classes taken at the JC are requirements for these colleges.
*I've done volunteer work with disabled students, getting them to better understand horses by showing them how to ride a horse and how to maintain one. I've volunteered at a stable.
*I was the math tutor for Stork Elementary grade 5 for my 11th grade.
*I have work experience.</p>
<p>Since I've already been accepted to Harvey Mudd, I really don't care about Harvard, Yale, Carnegie Mellon, USC, Johns Hopkins, or Rose-Hulman given that Mudd beats all of those schools for what I want to do. What I ask for, however, is what are my chances at Cornell, Princeton or Rice? I know this is last minute as I get back results this week, but I'm just curious. I understand that I'm a highly unusual student, but don't since I got accepted at Mudd (whose SAT average is 2190 versus my 1860) that I have a shot at the other schools? Thanks for any help.</p>
