<p>Thank you for chancing! PLEASE GIVE YOUR HONEST OPINION!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Also, Wharton is my number one choice followed by Cornell AEM then Harvard.</p>

3

<p>Anyone there?</p>

4

<p>Also, most of the APs were self studied.</p>

5

<p>Wharton was ED </p>

6

<p>Someone please chance!!! All inputs are helpful!!!</p>

7

<p>Lol why can’t you get into any universities? Your resume looks good. Harvard, Penn-Wharton, and U Chicago are reaches, everything else is a match, maybe not Cornell, but idk. </p>

8

<p>Thanks!</p>

9

<p>Ivies are never matches, and why include schools with much lower reps? </p>

<p>I would say you have a better than 50% chance to get into at least one of the top schools, your stats are great.</p>

10

<p>Thanks!!! I was thinking NYU Stern, UCB, and UVa were matches. Also, I have some safeties, didn’t post them.</p>

11

<p>Oh yeah, I accidently put Cambridge on there, I’m only applying to Oxford and LSE in the UK.</p>

12

<p>Everything looks good and it looks as if you know how to communicate your strengths on a college application. Do any schools offer interviews?</p>

13

<p>Just Oxford. Everyone gets an interview with them. Haven’t been given yet.</p>

14

<p>Your stats look great! I can’t imagine juggling all of this with a part-time job. </p>

<p>Quick question though. How did you take the AP exams for physics 1 and physics 2? The courses were only released this Fall.</p>

<p>I think that if you went ED to Wharton, you will definitely get in. Other than that, you have very, very good chances at the others, except maybe Harvard, Cornell, and Wharton RD because you are Asian and they are tending to hold extremely high standards for Asian applicants (which you have, but that’s what they expect for any Asian applicant they consider).
Chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1711214-chance-me-please-will-chance-back.html?new=1”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1711214-chance-me-please-will-chance-back.html?new=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I beg to differ that any of these schools are “lower”, as per what another poster said. These are all high class places. However, given your accomplishments, you do seem to carry a very competitive applicant for even the best schools in the nation. Wharton ED is a reach for anyone, regardless of what you have done. It would be hard for us to chance you properly on that, but I feel that you have a better chance of getting it stats-wise than most other applicants. Good luck!</p>

<p>Could you please chance me back? Thank you!
