Chances for Uc's and top schools

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>...Part of the question, however, requires critique. And yes, learn to deal. I'm not a child for saying it, but you are proving yourself to be by not accepting it. Constructive criticism, my dear. You'll have to face it someday, and the way you're acting now is proving your immaturity.</p>

<p>Look, as I said before, I'll take this post seriously when you calm down. The minute someone critiqued you on the first page, you blew up and made it completely out of proportion. When you learn to accept criticisms, then I'll reply with a well thought out, researched reply to your question.</p>

<p>If you're already in for a law school, why would you care about undergrad? Just go anywhere, and coast into Law School, since it doesn't matter anyway, right?</p>

dont need self gratification idiot

Okay. First, if you don't need self gratification then you NEED to learn how to TAKE CRITICISM. Face it: you're good, but you're not THAT GOOD. There are tons of kids JUST LIKE YOU out there. And those kids have you trumped on GPA, too. So. Learn to accept the fact that, if you put a post like this up, you're going to get people telling you the truth. Not everyone will be fawning over you and telling you how great you are.</p>

opinions on chances not criticism stupid geek

[/quote]

I'm sorry, how old are you? Opinions on chances encompasses criticism. If someone thinks you don't have that great of a set of stats, that's their opinion. It's also a criticism. They overlap. And I'm not even going to start on the ad hominem in your post.</p>

<p>So, let me sum up so that you understand:
Opinions=flattery+criticism. Life=dealing with criticism. Surviving the world past college and law school=learning to deal with life. Take this as a lesson--no matter how good YOU think you are, there will be people who don't share the same opinion. If you can't learn to be tolerant of other people's views, you'll never be able to succeed, particularly in the competetive, subtle world of law.</p>

<p>Skywalker doesn't understand logic. He only understands that he's the best thing on CC. Think otherwise and he'll flame you and ask you to do him some favors.</p>

23

<p>First of all, I agree... but I haven't EVER BRAGGED ABOUT ANYTHIGN EXCEPT MY EC'S...the reason is...
flippy said: " your ec's suck and your essays suck"</p>

<p>he hasn't read my essay... stupid morons are always criticizing... he based his opinion ON the topic.. thats why i blew up... I am NOT full of myself.. just proving the fact that flippy is an idiot who judges too fast its as simple as that... I came on thsi site for honest answers and i get criticism from jelous queers or w/e... Why else would they criticize? Do they need to gain self- confidence? I hope not</p>

<p>I just want my chances and honest answers on my schools and i'll leave this site its as simple as 123 and abc but flippy still might need to understand that</p>

24

<p>Wait, what exactly are we jealous of again? Your godlike 700+ SATs? Your 7 unnamed clubs? The fact that you're not going to get into any of the elite colleges, despite your false convictions?</p>

25

<p>First of all, your cocky attitude won't get you into Stanford, let alone most of the other ivies you listed. Making fun of others when they constructively criticize you won't get you anywhere in life. If you really wanted opinions on chances, why not accept what others have to say and listen to their advice, if you want it so badly?
Your academics can likely get you into a UC but dancing, sports, music, etc. doesn't mean anything (in terms of how long you've been doing them) unless you have some personal characteristic gained or changed by doing them. Colleges are looking for mature people with personality, not just accomplished individuals.</p>

<p>It seems to me that the Lord has created at least 1 decent human being... that I have seen so far on this site..</p>

<p>NEW YORK - A Harvard University student's "chick lit" novel has been permanently withdrawn and her two-book deal canceled, publisher Little, Brown and Co. announced Tuesday, as allegations of literary borrowing proliferated against Kaavya Viswanathan's "How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild and Got a Life." </p>

<p>HAHAHAHA!!! Even harvard Grads can't get jobs... Once again i'll remind you... I don't care for your criticism.. At the end of the day I'll be the one handing you the check for cleanin the bathrooms and the sinks at the law firm I work at. This is the God-given truth whether you like it or not.. Your attitude and aggressive behavior shows your intelligence and your attitude towards life... You have no puprose driven life and God will punish you for that in hell</p>

<p>Thank you and good day.</p>

<p>WMF ...the Lord has given you a brain and heart like no other...: ) message me for my aim and e-mail </p>

<p>Once again there is no point in going to an IVY league unergrad!!! LOL however I thank you for your criticism and your false judgements TAKE THEM SOMEWHER ELSE ... when you put people down you are jealous thats a fact for you son</p>

27

<p>You might make it to some of these UCs, but do give up on the Ivy leagues.</p>

<p>Your SAT is mediocre at best; your ECs are just run-of-the-mill (lacks focus, too); and judging from your harangue on these forums, you couldn't write a decent essay.</p>

28

<p>Either please rate my chances like flopsy has done on page 1... or view this thread and leave... Its as simple as that.. Easy steps to follow but some kids can't understand</p>

29

<p>Hmm, our family is not particularly rich, and if you want to make a sport out of that, it's your call.</p>

30

<p>Do you actually think people post their real stats anyway? Whats stopping a kid from putting fake ec's? Any kid can go on this site and say he's a valec and you'll believe him... Do you know for sure that his ec's and stats are correct? no! </p>

<p><a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2382191892899128779%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2382191892899128779&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>THIS IS THE KIND OF DANCE I DO??? TALK TO ME ABOUT ORIGINALITY? I'LL BET YOU NOBODY ON THIS SITE WHETHER THEIR STATS OR FAKE OR NOT, HAVE THIS KIND OF EC... THAT'S ORIGINALITY LITTLE KIDS... SO NEXT TIME YOU TALKIN TO ME ABOUT ORIGINALITY AND MY CHANCES, WATCH THIS... My bro got accepted to a high college just based on this.. My friend got INTO STANFORD BECAUSE of dance alone.. he sent his vid in... So please don't tell me about my ec's and my stats... EITHER</p>

<p>RATE MY CHANCES OR PLEASE VIEW THIS THREAD AND EXIT...</p>

31

<p>But ok, I will give you my opinion.</p>

<p>UCLA- reach
UC berkeley-reach
UC San Diego- slight reach
Columbia- extreme reach
John Hopkins- extreme reach
Standford-give up
northwestern- extreme reach
brown- give up
Princeton- give up</p>

<p>The Ivies and Stanford do look at your freshman transcript.</p>

32

<p>Find Me A Ivy League Grad Or Student Currently Who Is Doing This Dance Or Something Alike It.... And I'll Show You God</p>

33

<p>Thanks but it seems to me that everyone says SD is a Safe Match and the UCB and UCLA are matches??? O well thanks anyway</p>

34

<p>Actually, Yale gave my friend a full scholarship for her Irish dancing. So don't put that down. 10 years of Indian Dance may mean nothing if you're not talented.</p>

<p>So yes, Ivy Leaguers can dance. Please stop being immature. You seem to want to go to an Ivy, yet you keep insulting 'Ivy League people'. It's rather confusing and contradictary.</p>

<p>With that said, your chances:
UCLA-Match
UC berkeley-Slight Reach/match
UC San Diego-Match
Michgian university ann arbor-not familiar with its system
Georgetown(EA maybe)-REACH
Columbia-Reach
John Hopkins-Slight Reach
Rice-Not Familiar
Stanford-V. LARGE REACH
Northwestern-Slight Reach
brown-REACH
Princeton-REACH</p>

<p>I'm perhaps being a bit kinder than I should be, but there it is. I'll explain why I ranked that way, now, so that you can improve your chances over the course of summer/SR year/app time:
-Freshman grades: UCs DO look at them, even though they're not counted in the GPA. This can be solved by saying, in your essays, that you slacked for such-and-such a reason, and pointing out the upward trend.
-SATs: For the Ivy's, 2100 isn't good enough. Take a SAT prep class or something, and shoot for at least 2300. That'll put you in the safe zone. Ditto for SATIIs--shoot for an 800 on AT LEAST one of them.
-Your GPA [w/o frosh year] will prob. help you in terms of the UCs, which rely mostly on numbers. Privates, however, look far past that. As a word of advice: don't do the father thing. Colleges can see through that, believe me. If they think that you're BSing them, they will definitely not let you in, no matter how good you are.
-Make sure on your essays to emphasize ONE thing from your ECs. If you try to just say ooh look how many ECs I have, they'll notice your lack of central interest and they'll know you did it for college apps. If you make it sound like you are truly IN LOVE with a certain EC, you'll be in better shape. Many people who have been in only 1 thing for 4 years, but are completely and totally in love with that thing, and write that in their essays, often get into better colleges than people who are all over the place trying to impress colleges w/their ECs.</p>

<p>hey make me happy... whats your e-mail or aim?</p>

36

<p>When was the last time a GREAT football recruit for the nfl came from the top 5-10 schools? LOL talk to me about being in-depth...They don't do anything in depth just studying...</p>

<p>THANKS THOUGH MAKEMEHAPPY!! :)</p>

<p>DID YOUR FRIEND COMPETE LIKE THIS? 60,000 people watching i think not</p>

38

<p>Why? And I'm not talking about football, more like...do you really care about anything other than getting into college? Do you have a passion? Is there something that you would sacrifice everything for? Do you have personality? Are you an up-and-coming entreprenuer? Do you have 'street smarts' that will help you in business?</p>

<p>The 3.4 2019 who's sent a self-made/directed/produced/acted-in movie to Sundance will get into an Ivy over the 4.4 2400 10 clubs who has no direction, trust me. The girl who writes a published novel at age 16 will get into Harvard before the girl who aces her classes and is involved in volunteer work, but doesn't actually give a ***. They don't just want smart people--they want *smart people. They want people who know what they want, how they want it, and know how to get there.</p>

<p>'Kay, no clue if that dancing vid is you or not, but yes, my friend went to several national and international competitions and made top 5 in nearly all of them.</p>
