<p>These are my friend’s sats. She, for some reason, has had trouble registering with this site and finally asked someone else to post her stats… I posted them elsewhere and no one responded. And thus the big debate ensued because she put “hispanic, from Spain” on them, which many don’t think counts. Just to note that.</p>

<p>State: NC
SAT I - 1410 v690 m720
SATII - M1C 690, Writing 730, U.S. History 650
ECs:
Science Olympiad: 9-12 grade, first state in one event, tenth state in another, first, second, and third in several regional events
National History Day: 10-11 grade, 1st and 2nd at regionals, two state special prizes
Debate: 4th and 6th at local touraments (first year)
9th at regional WNC math contest, 33rd in state (10th grade)

<p>Can you rank my chances at these places?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Harvard, Princeton: No way
Penn, Columbia: Big reaches, maybe like 20-30% early, 5-10% RD
Northwestern, Wash U: reaches: probably 20-30% RD, 40-50% early?
The rest are matches I think</p>

<p>Thanks. I agree. I think she wants to go to Vanderbilt but all of her friends are insane 1550 kids, so she's stuck on the Harvard EA thing. I wish the best and will relay your message (nicely).</p>

<p>I might be too harsh though, wait for other responses. But it seems like to me that the SAT II's are a bit low, with 2 under 700 :/, the SAT is mediocre. It's impressive that she got 1st in a state science olympaid though.</p>

5

<p>Is it really THAT impressive to get top three in State Science Olympiad...because I've placed 1st,2nd,3rd, in different events in State Science Olympiad...but I don't think it as much of an achievement because nobody talks about placing in Science Olympiad...?</p>

6

<p>whats her rank and curriculum?</p>

7

<p>She's actually taken more APs than anyone at our school. She will be 4/325 by the end of the semester (is 3 now).</p>
