<p>Hey all,
I'm new to CC, but it seems like a great, pro-active community.
Could you chance me for the following schools?</p>
<p>Yale - I have an Aunt who went to Yale - Legacy
Stanford
Cornell
Columbia</p>
<p>As for some background, I go to an IB school in Canada, one of the more prestigious ones, though I'd rather not reveal which.
My IB total is a 43 out of a maximum of 45.
HL Chemistry : 7
HL Physics : 7
HL Math : 7
SL Economics : 7
SL French : 6
SL Language and Literature : 6+
Theory of Knowledge and Extended Essay : 3/3</p>
<p>In normal percentages, it comes to about 99%. My GPA is 3.97 unweighted, and 4.8 weighted.
I scored a 2360 on the SAT, and a 35 composite score on the ACT.
My school doesn't do class ranks, though I can easily say that I am one of the top 5 students in the grade.
I am a recipient of the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award, and a school recipient of the Gold Community Service Award. I won the CAS medal, for community service, action, and creativity in my school, chiefly in Extra curricular activities.
I have appeared in many school arts publications, mainly for poetry, and have won Kiwanis provincial and national contests for it.
I am the Secretary General of my school's Model United Nations club, and have won multiple speaker awards.
I am also a senior member of the Debating Club, and I've recently won the McGill Debating tournament.
I am the Vice chair of the World Affairs Conference, which Conrad Black is speaking at.
I am the Director Academic Programming (one of 4 director positions under the head) of Ontario Model Parliament.
I am the head and founder of the Computer Building Club, which I started in grade 10.
I am the head of the Robotics club as well.
I have achieved honour roll scores on many national math contests, including the Gauss (perfect score), Lagrange (honour roll), Pascal (perfect score), Newton (perfect score), COMC (grade 10, score of 64), AMC 10A (School Winner)(School Winning Team), COMC (Grade 11, score of 74) and probably some others which I can't remember.
I am a teacher assistant at Spirit of Math Schools, and have been since grade 9.
I have attended the Harvard-MIT math tournament with my school.
I am a member of the Varsity Rowing Team, one of 2 coxes.
I am also a member of the Varsity Badminton team, which went to the finals at the Canadian Independent Schools Athletic Association.
For community service, I am part of a program called horizons, which helps tutor inner city kids in Math, Science, and Debating.
I am also a peer tutor, mainly in the fields of Math, Science, and History.
Finally, I am the World News Editor of our school's main publication. </p>
<p>I'm pretty nervous about university, and Yale is my first choice. I'm hoping to go into law.
Also, my aunt is an alumna of Yale, so I'm hoping that she can play a small role in tipping the scales in my favour.
Thoughts?
Thanks all :)</p>
