Chances for ED!!!

Colleges and Universities A-Z Princeton University
1

<p>my list of schools:</p>

<p>UC Irvine
UCSB
UCLA
UC berkeley
UC San Diego
Georgetown
Columbia (ED?)
Johns Hopkins ( maybe)
Stanford (EA or RD need help deciding)
northwestern
brown
Princeton(ED)-Common APP
U of Chicago EA
Cornell-COMMON APP
Harvard-Common APP
Carnegie Mellon-Common APP (maybe)
Duke-COMMON APP (maybe)
Dartmouth-Common APP ( maybe)
Upenn-COMMON APP</p>

<p>that's a lot of schools, so how do I cut them down? what I'm looking for in a school:</p>

<p>-mediocre weather
-nice buildings
-good surrounding city with lots to do
-GRADE INFLATION ( easier to get A's than other schools... I know university of Chicago has grade deflation which is horrible)
-i need to get into a good law school, which school will help me do this?</p>

<p>My stats:
- My fully weighted g.p.a that even weights college summer courses is:
9-11 4.1 W ( Georgetown EA, or Univer of Chicago EA or Columbia ED)
9-12 4.2 W ( RD applications most of those schools) 3.7 uw
10-11 4.5 W 3.88 uw(princeton ED, uc's) uc g.p.a is 4.2 capped
10-12 4.57 W 3.91 uw ( Stanford ) RD</p>

<p>please keep in mind this is my FULLY weighted gpa means weighting colleges summer courses taken at uc berkeley as well</p>

<p>SAT 1: 2200
SAT 2: US 770, MATH 2c 790, math 1c 780</p>

<p>HUGE UPWARD TREND IN GRADES!! i have great valid reasons for this! Will schools even take pity on me and might even consider taking out freshman year? I emailed Dartmouth undergrad and they said they might and that would make my gpa about a 3.9 + uw at every school I apply to and that would make a HUGE difference in RD or ED/EA applications</p>

<p>rec's and essays should be good... i'm spending a lot of time on them even now!</p>

<p>EC's:

<h2>Also pertaining to my majors Poli sci and econ i did many things including starting many business and one online business hosts leagues for sports via Xbox and is estimated to make 2k -10k a month i only get 50 percent of commision though : ( maximum profit it can make 2.2 million a year... : ) i'm hoping! Business is risky</h2>

<p>I am in the youth commission which means i represent my community with 70,000 people. I also am in charge of 15,000 dollars that i grant loans to agencies around the city to help benefit the low income of my city. I work directly with the mayor, city government. : ) I might get a recommendation from the mayor</p>

<p>I founded and president of 2 clubs that involves rigorous community service</p>

<p>500 hours of comm service... i helped at numerous places for variety</p>

<p>For my eagle project i started a blood drive and it involved 200 hrs of comm service and planning... </p>

<p>Football 400 yard sprint winner</p>

<p>honor roll, but that isn't important and also almost perfect attendance so far</p>

<p>also which schools do you think I should totally cross off my list because I won't even have a slight chance there.. please be honest thanks!</p>

<p>ED: Princeton or Columbia or Penn
EA: University of Chicago
-----------------------------IMPORTANT BELOW
Ok here's how I see it, my main goal is to apply to as many places as I can early? Why? If i get accepted my senior year will be 400 % better... So i need to know my chances for these early applications above : ) I can relax, party, so virtually I need to know what school i'll have the best chance at early...</p>

<p>i'm applying to UoC for sure early now deciding between Penn, Columbia, or Princeton ED</p>

<p>Did summer programs at UC Berkeley and did quite well</p>

2

<p>bump.................</p>

3

<p>you can't do ed and ea at the same time.</p>

4

<p>k thanks! Chances for ed then?</p>

5

<p>ED where???</p>

6

<p>How do people even fit this many ECs on the application? really I don't understand...</p>

7

<p>lol low GPA.</p>

8

<p>That GPA isn't that low...</p>

9

<p>I like the Eagle Scout--but what's that about 10 years??? You can only be in Boy Scouts for 7 years.</p>

10

<p>I doubt you'll make it for Princeton. Don't waste your ED on it.</p>

11

<p>your ECs are amazingly good (how did you organize your time?!), your marks and scores are solid. With good essays and recs you have a shot just about any school. Apply early to whichever school you like best, and chances are you'll get in.</p>

12

<p>are you just trying to get into a top school?
i don't really see any consistency in your college list
maybe you might want to rethink your list before even considering EA/ED</p>

13

<p>Maybe try Columbia if you want a surrounding city with lots to do.</p>

14

<p>you're not kidding, are you...?</p>

15

<p>You might like to know that Princeton has grade deflation. It seems like it's a big deal for you not to have it in a school, so maybe ED at Princeton is not the path you should take.</p>
