<p>WOW
WOW those are great stats</p>

<p>average stats of an acceptee + URM = very good chance.</p>

<p>and I think he is the only URM in the top 100 of their class</p>

<p>yea they are amazing stats, I told him he would have a good chance getting into at least one of them, but i still wanted to post them</p>

<p>What I'd say to him is that he definitely is a very good applicant for these schools & if he keeps doing as well as he is, he does have a favorable chance of getting into MIT/Yale/Princeton etc.</p>

<p>Everything works out for him. </p>

<p>I know who you are talking about actually, I went to private school with him & my school competed against his for the Long Island Challenge (as you know probably, your school won.).</p>

<p>He's definitely a very bright kid & the schools he's interested in would be wise to accept him. :)</p>

10

<p>yea i was on the long island challenge team too</p>

11

<p>I always wonder how some friends are nice enough to type up their friend's stats, ecs, and awards rather than telling them to register here and get their own account...not trying to start an arguement or anything!</p>

<p>I went to private school with him as well, grade above. I had the honor of giving him an asthma attack. Coola, who are you?</p>
