Chances for friend, Harvard and Stan.

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I have a pal whose position interests me a lot. I hope he gets into Stanford SCEA, but I'm not quite sure what the likelihood is...</p>

<p>White male, suburban high school. Also applying to Harvard regular.</p>

<p>ACT: 31 (?)
SAT: 600V 790M
SATII: Chem. ?, Span. ?, Writ. 720
Rank: 19/500
AP's: Chem. 5, Calc. BC 5</p>

<p>EC's:
Bassoon, 7 yrs.? (Primary Hook)
-applying for music and wants to transfer to aero-engineering
-All-district (10, 11, 12)
-All-state (11)
-Plays in Chicago Youth Symphony (12)
-Played in Blue Lake
-Music Audition (he's pretty good)
NHS
Math Team
-AMC 101, AIME 2 (11)
-Some minor math meet awards
-Regionals 5th place Individual (10)
Swimming (10)
Took Multivar. Calc. (B-) and Diff Eq. twice (D, then B)
Foreign Language Club
Schol. Bowl</p>

<p>Rec's are excellent, so he says.</p>

<p>Essays are good.</p>

2

<p>very low chance at both schools. SAT/ACT is too low, and the EC's are pretty unremarkable</p>

3

<p>No chance unless for some reason, each school is desperately in need of a bassoon player and for some reason can't find anyone better (which is unlikey, because no matter how good you are at an instrument, there are always a bunch of people who are a helluva lot better)</p>

4

<p>i wouldn't say no chance at all. Doesn't hurt to try i guess.</p>

5

<p>1 in 18, maybe a little better for the bassoon.</p>

6

<p>Would he even get deferred at Stan.? He did take the time to audition with them on campus.</p>

7

<p>Maybe. He definitely looks like a solid math student though. Perhaps engineering should enter his mind?</p>

8

<p>He's not bad...received a B in 1st semester Calc. BC though.</p>
