Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Okay, my best friend is applying early to Princeton. He keeps telling me he won't get in with only his stats, but I am willing to bet that he is a shoe-in...he then told me to post his crap on this site. BTW, we bet on whether he would get in or not. Is the money in my favor?</p>

<p>Ohio, School ranked 150 by Newsweek, Best in County, above average in state. Rich, Asian American guy...Chinese and Indian mix.</p>

SAT II Chinese: 800
SAT II Math IIC: 800
SAT II Physics: 790
SAT II Chem: 790
Rank: 1/400
All toughest courseload, after this year, he will have had 10 AP classes in school and 4 AP classes self studied. 10+4=14.</p>

<p>ECs:

<p>Now, here is his catch. He has only completed the rough drafts for his essays, and he says he is a very horrible writer. The teachers found his essays "typical" and they thought he should rewrite one of them to make it clearer.</p>

<p>As everybody will say around here, admissions for the HYP schools are pretty much a lottery because so many people have amazing stats. But those are AMAZINGLY amazing stats, and personally I think that if he isn't accepted there is something really wrong with the system.</p>

<p>I don't get whats wrong here...can't those type of stats make up for any essay, no matter how bad it is?</p>
