-Went to Mexico for a week for charity</p>

<p>TUTORING
-Tutored English 4 hrs a week, for two years</p>

<p>BUSINESS
-I saved this EC for last because this was my biggest passion throughout highschool. This project took me thousands of hours and is my biggest accomplishment! It was a t-shirt business that had provocative designs/quotes/sayings/etc. about certain topical issues and the money that the t-shirt made went towards that corresponding charity. I would love to show the website to anyone who messages me and asks for it.</p>

-It was extremely boring and the congressman was rude...I don't even feel like putting this on my app.</p>

<p>SUMMER
-Harvard SSP summer going into 12th</p>

<p>Essays: Fantastic. I started these in the summer and I've had several teachers review them. In one of them I talked about how being born to two teenagers did not limit my development. Also talked about how emotionally painful it was moving away from my mother to my wealthier father....
Recs: Great, I'm sure.
Counselor Rec: Great.</p>

<p>Other:

<p>I’ll chance those who chance me, by the way :)</p>

3

<p>I’d say you are in at UPenn and USC but I can’t guarantee Harvard or Stanford, but you’re an excellent candidate. Good luck!</p>

4

<p>You are definitely a worthy candidate for UPENN and USC but Harvard and Stanford are very unpredictable. I wish you the best of luck. Can you please send me your website?</p>

5

<p>Upenn and USC looks solid

6

<p>You’ll probably get in everywhere because you are a smart Mexican</p>

7

<p>@actingjohn: Sure thing, I’ll send it your way.
@Branches92: Is that the only reason?</p>

<p>And if anyone wants to know, I raised $50k so far in the business.</p>

<p>And I also applied to Northwestern.</p>

8

<p>Oh and austrakast, I’m not applying to other UC/CSU because I want to be far from home :)</p>

9

<p>Lol… ignore Branches92.</p>

<p>You’re in at USC and most likely Northwestern.
Not sure about UPenn, Harvard and Stanford.</p>

<p>Good luck! :)</p>

10

<p>above average chances, I think you’d be a great fit for Wharton</p>

11

<p>In at USC . Harvard and Stanford are always a toss-up, but your stats look great!</p>

<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1060187-chance-urm-usc.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1060187-chance-urm-usc.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

12

<p>he’s definitely not “in at Penn” if he’s applying for Wharton, but you shouldn’t have any problems with USC</p>

13

<p>Is it because it’s a really tough school or…?</p>

14

<p>Are you applying to Wharton or CAS?</p>

15

<p>In USC but I’m not sure with the rest of the colleges!</p>

<p>Chance me?</p>

<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1065173-my-complete-college-list-do-you-like-them-can-i-get-accepted.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1065173-my-complete-college-list-do-you-like-them-can-i-get-accepted.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

16

<p>I’m applying to Wharton.</p>

<p>I’m feeling down and this site makes me feel good. Wow, how pathetic. Anyway…</p>

17

<p>I think you’d be a great candidate! My brother is graduating from Wharton this year and his stats were… 2390 on SAT, 4.6-4.7 GPAW , and 4.0 GPAUW. Yea… He was an IB student. Your ECs are quite impressive and I think FBLA will actually help a lot. Although, I still recommend applying to say, NYU Stern as a back-up. It’s a great business school, #3 in the world and the FBLA captain from our school goes there and loves it because some of the options for experience are wider. Wharton is extremely competitive and difficult to get in. Your GPA is a bit low(even your weighted), but it’s not all about that! Focus on your essay, that’s probably the most important component to college apps!</p>

18

<p>Which events did you do in FBLA?</p>

19

<p>Harvard - hmmm… i guess reach
Stanford- very unpredictable but i also guess reach
UPenn- low reach
USC- a good nice match</p>

<p>Your ECs sound amazing and ur academics are quite good. Obstacle might be that you did too many things :P</p>

<p>chance me… please</p>

<p>Wharton/Harvard/Stanford = reach or low reach
USC = match</p>
