<p>Also taking high level (multivariable calc, differential equations) at UNC next year. Few more APs senior year as well - Art History, Spanish Lit, Literature. Apologies for the multi-post.</p>

3

<p>They are all reach schools no matter how good you are.</p>

<p>All I can say is GOOD LUCK TO YOU and I hope you have more colleges on your list.</p>

<p>

What do you mean? I don’t get it… What’s a “reach school”?</p>

5

<p>You will have better chances if you ED to Penn (Wharton) and EA to Chicago.</p>

<p>HYPS: Nobody can chance you.</p>

6

<p>Thanks - I do have more schools on my list: Duke, UVA/UMich, Columbia, Georgetown (maybe). Still figuring it out. Also applying to Cambridge on a total whim.</p>

7

<p>GREAT GREAT, no i mean, TERRIFIC chances at all of them.Expect accpetance from either yale or princeton, harvard is pretty damn close. Wharton probably in. Chicago is a match. Stanford is unpredictable though.</p>

8

<p>btw. what do u mean by “research associate?” Are you a student intern doing research, or r u just getting paid to do data collection, or something else. Cuz you should say “research intern” or something the like on the common app, “research associate” sounds too professional.</p>

9

<p>I’m a paid researcher - coordinating/running studies, working with data. Started out as an intern but he asked me to transition into a summer job for the past two summers. “research associate/assistant” is probably the most accurate term.</p>

10

<p>^That shows great dedication there. Are u considering doing siemens or intel? Those help a lot too.</p>

11

<p>Were those all APs classes? Or self-studied? Great grades, SAT scores. Interesting summer EC. I really wouldn’t be surprised if you got into one or more of HYSP. Probably in for Wharton, UChicago.</p>

12

<p>All of them were AP courses.</p>

13

<p>Nothing too special and you’re cucasian so I have to say slim.</p>

14

<p>In at Duke and Chicago. HYPS - anyone’s guess. Better chance with ED than SCEA (Penn, Columbia).</p>
