<p>Please Reply!</p>

<p>I'd say you should emphasize your FDA investigation and class president experiences. What about your class rank and % of students getting into HYPMS each year?</p>

<p>i have no idea about rank, my school under no circumstances will tell someone what percentage they are- not even colleges</p>

<p>i dont know what HYPMS is.... but if its what i think then no one has been admitted to Stanford in about 4 years (this could either be good or bad, good in the essence that since they h avent admitted anyone in a while they are bound to do so sooner or later and bad b/c they dont often admit people from my school)
for dartmouth they accept at least1 or 2 people every year</p>

<p>HYPMS = Harvard Yale Princeton MIT Stanford</p>

<p>PLEASE other people chance me!!!! i want your honest opinions</p>

<p>imo, running marathons is a great accomplishment. maybe that could be turned into an essay? i say you might get in</p>

<p>do you think they'll hold my test scores against me... they're lower than average :/</p>

<p>also- my common app essay is AMAZING its really FUNNY... and im not just saying that b/c its my essay its actually really good</p>

<p>ACT is a bit low for both schools, but your profile is distinctive and memorable. I hope that you get admitted to both as you certainly will enhance campus life. You are smart to emphasize leadership, athletics and linguistic accomplishments as this profile presents you as a well rounded contributor.</p>

<p>The fact that your school does not traditionally admit students to elite schools is never a good thing.</p>

<p>They are not obligated to take a student from every high school at least every 5 or 10 or whatever years.</p>

<p>However, I think your accomplishments are strong enough to take you to wherever you want to go. Best wishes.</p>

<p>no its just stanford that they dont often admit to, last year they sent students to : harvard, yale, princeton, dartmouth, Columbia, Penn, Duke- just to name a few (and there are only 75 girls in a class). Also since its on the east coast most girls prefer to stay on the east coast, not that many apply to stanford/schools out west unless its for sports</p>

<p>Dartmouth doesn't have ea( Early Action)-just early decision</p>

<p>anyone else have any thoughts?</p>

<p>and yeah i know dartmouth is ED... im applying to stanford EA</p>

<p>Wow.. very different. Love your chances.</p>

<p>You aren't like most people on this site (with the perfect test scores, blah blah etc), but so what? Your ECs truly sets you apart.</p>

<p>anyone else (i keep doing this so that this thread will stay on the front page and people will reply :) )</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

<p>your name?</p>

<p>Im telling you, you have a wonderful chance.</p>

<p>What are you talking about "launched an FDA investigation?" Why? For what? Elaborate, please.</p>

<p>haha i'll kinda explain.. i did this project testing food products for lead and it lead to a nationwide investigation.... i won a bajillion awards and was featured in numerous newspapers and publications around the globe (mostly in the US but also in the Asia times somehwere in asia and something in europe). i was also on good morning america..... it was pretty big</p>
