<p>hey teslasnake:where can you find the paper? I would really like to read it.</p>

<p>Bump ... chances at MIT?</p>
<p>I have a question... the stereotypical Asian plays piano and violin, right?
So what happens if they play another type of instrument instead? (just wondering, since I'm Asian, but I play viola and cello instead of the traditional stuff..)</p>
<p>Yeah. Stereotypical chinese. Plays some classical instrument, studies hard, and takes Chinese SAT. </p>
<p>780 lol. Well, yeah, you have an ok chance at those schools I suppose. Chinese school is an EC? Never knew. Quite rich to afford such luxuries. Hmmm...</p>
<p>The only thing really bugging me is your GPA. 4.07 weighted... A classrank would be helpful cause just seeing 4.07 makes you think the student is not so great. Maybe its cause your school does not offer many APs so that is why you should tell us rank. You better be pretty crazy at violin with a reasonably good rank otherwise I don't see princeton. Good luck.</p>
<p>chinese school isn't that expensive and it's not an ec (the image i've gotten from admins is that they don't like people who take it)... I took up up till freshmen year, and it only costs 0.5% of what my regular school tuition is...</p>
<p>Wow. The only thing I problem I see might be the UW GPA.</p>
<p>You sound like me, except better in every freakin' way under the sky (bar GPA)...</p>
<p>As such, you suck like a singularity! :D</p>
<p>As for the essay, write with your voice, lest it come off as insincere.</p>
<p>LOL, watch me get rejected all around for inane (or add and 's' to that) essays. CUZ T3H SKY I5 8LU3!!!</p>
<p>80%?? wat da</p>
